Bake 20 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes. Loosen edges of cake with metal spatula or knife. Turn out on racks, and cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare filling: In 2 qt. saucepan, combine cream, sugar, egg yolks and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon - about 12 minutes; remove from heat. Add chocolate, stirring until melted; stir in coconut. Spread filling in 9x13 pan. Chill in freezer until cooled and thick enough to spread, about 20 minutes. Place one layer on serving platter with half of chilled filling. Top with second layer and remaining filling. Place third layer over filling; frost outside and top of cake with Satin Chocolate Frosting. Makes 8-10 servings.
