📢 "Indulge in the richness of pecans and chocolate. A slice of heaven perfect for any family gathering!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Introduce the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gently fold in the coconut, pecans, and half of the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted.
7. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the cooled cake. If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pecans and coconut on top.
