  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¾ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of strong brewed coffee (cooled).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. For the frosting, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) of softened butter, 3 cups of powdered sugar, ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup of strong brewed coffee (cooled), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  10. Frost the cooled cake and sprinkle generously with sweetened shredded coconut.
  11. Cut into small bars and enjoy! The frosting and coconut make them extra delightful.
