Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut two 8-inch rounds of parchment paper to line the bottoms of two 8-inch (2 inches deep) round cake pans. Butter and line pans. Butter linings. Dust pans with cocoa, tapping out excess. Set aside.
- Sift together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer. Return bowl to mixer. Fit mixer with the paddle attachment. Add eggs, yolk, water, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake, switching positions of pans and rotating halfway through, until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool in pans on wire racks 30 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of cakes to loosen. Unmold; peel off parchment. Let cool completely, top sides up, on racks.

- Place second cake layer, cut side down, on top; press gently to make it level. Frost top and sides of assembled cake with remaining frosting. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the top and along sides, if desired.
