For the Cake:
In another electric mixture bowl, add egg whites and beat on medium speed until it forms soft peaks.
Add half of the sugar slowly while continuing to beat until the sugar is dissolved. Set the mixture aside.

Next, add sour cream and continue to beat. Combine buttermilk and coffee.
Next, add all-purpose flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
Once everything is well combined, fold in egg whites.
In a greased tube pan that has a removable bottom, pour in half of the cake mix. Add coconut and egg white mixture and layer using a spoon. Pour in the rest of the cake batter and level.
Place the tube pan in a preheated oven for about50 minutes at 350-degree F.
Insert a toothpick in the cake. If it comes out lean, remove the pan from the oven.
Run the knife alongside its edges and invert it onto a cooling rack. Let it cool completely.
For the Frosting:
Meanwhile, add melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, confectioners' sugar, and milk in a small bowl. Beat with an electric beater until you get a creamy and smooth mixture.
Spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake and enjoy!
