I love this recipe. I grew up with my mom making it and this is very close to the recipe she used. The only thing I do different is I use 1/3 cup cocoa in the cake and don't use coconut. I also like to take a 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and sprinkle it over the top after it's cooled and frosted. An excellent recipe and as far as I am concerned your recipe is a 'true' Mississippi mud cake!
