Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a cake pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and milk until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in cocoa powder and chocolate chips gently.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake.

Garnish with coconut flakes and fruit preserves as desired.
