- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a springform pan with butter and flour.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat the butter with the sugar at medium-high speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well. Add the vanilla.
- Reduce the mixer speed and add the flour in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Add the melted chocolate and stir.
- Place the mixture in the cake pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until done and cooked in the center.
- Prepare the frosting. Mix the egg yolks, evaporated milk, and sugar in a pot. Add the butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the frosting thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla, salt, coconut, and walnuts. Let it cool completely before using.
- Remove the cake from the oven and unmold. Let it cool on a rack. Once cool, refrigerate (for at least 1 hour to make it easier to slice).
- With a serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally into three layers.
- Cover each layer with frosting and finish by covering the entire cake with the same frosting. Decorate with shredded coconut.
