*Preparation
1.
Preheat oven 350 F.
2.
Grease a 13 X 9 inch (33 cm X 23 cm) rectangular pan generously with coconut oil. To book.
3.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. To book.
4.
In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, oil and 1 tbsp. vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl of solid ingredients and mix until smooth.
5.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a mixer, whip the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp. vanilla, for 2 minutes, until smooth and fluffy.
6.
In the bottom of the cake pan, spread 1 cup coconut, 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup pecans.
7.
Pour the chocolate cake batter into the mold.
8.
Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake mix all over the chocolate batter. With a fork, stir a little to spread the cheese mixture.
9.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes, until the cake pulls away from the edges of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out almost clean.
10.
Right away, place the remaining pecans (1/4 cup) on top of the cake and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes (just to lightly toast the nuts).
11.
Remove the cake from the oven, then immediately top with the remaining chocolate chips (1/4 cup) and the remaining coconut (1/4 cup).
12.
Let the cake cool about at least 31 min before cutting to squares and serving.
Enjoy !
