This recipe looks really good and its great to have some recipes on hand to make a different and yummy dessert using a box of yellow cake mix as the base. Cream cheese frosting is always a hit and the coconut and pecans add a delicious flavour. This would be great to bring to a potluck or dinner party.

it sound like a delicious recipe but i'm confused about the powdered sugar.do i put all the ingredients and then bake for 1 hour??

I think the powdered sugar is meant to be mixed with the cream cheese for the frosting. An hour does seem long to bake though?

This cake recipe sounds like a very simple version of an italian cream cake, except an italian cream cake contains both coconut and pecans in the cake batter, also. Sounds good and will try this recipe soon.

If I remember correctly a can of coconut was 3 1/2 ozs I have not seen coconut in a can for many years , but it would be 1/2 of a 7 oz bag or 1/4 of a 14 oz bag. I hope this was helpful

Recipe sounds good, amounts are not very specific....coconut or nuts . It almost sounds like a gooey butter.

This sounds like a southern "dump cake" recipe that my mother use to make...instead, it uses cherry pie filling and the top is just dotted with butter.

What is a "can" of coconut? Do you mean a can of coconut frosting?

Some areas have canned coconut available...when using the bags that most areas are able to buy, the conversion is about 1-1 1/2 cups or to your own taste.
