3/4 cup ap flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup whole milk

• Step 1; before you do anything, stick the whole, unopened can of condensed milk in your crock pot and submerge it by at least 3 inches and cook it on medium for 10 hours or on high for 7. Alternatively, you can boil it on the stove FULLY SUBMERGED AT ALL TIMES for 4 hours. Let it cool. This is how you make caramel:

Prepare each batter separately. This is a marble cake. 

• For each cake type, beat butter (or oil) and sugar(s) on medium high until fluffy. 
• Add in eggs one at a time mixing well. 
• Add in milk and vanilla (if applicable) and mix until well combined. 
• In separate bowls sift together dry ingredients for each batter. 
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients slowly and mix until well combined.
• Add boiling water to batter #2 (cocoa cake)
• Layer the cake, pouring some of the brown sugar batter, then cocoa batter, then brown sugar, until both batter bowls are empty. 
• Tap bundt pan on the counter a couple times to remove bubbles. 
• Bake approximately 1 hour or until skewer inserted in center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool entirely

For the frosting

• Toast sweetened flaked coconut either on a cookie sheet in the oven on 350F tossing occasionally or in a dry skillet constantly stirring until desired color is reached. 
• Beat cooled cooked condensed milk, butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla and salt for 3 minutes.
•  Add in 1 cup toasted coconut. 
• Chill for 1 hour
