OK, so I changed a couple of things (that's what guys do!): Since I just can't leave well enough alone...I used a YELLOW cake mix and baked according to directions. Added 1/2 c coconut to batter as well as 1/4 tsp vanilla and also added 1/2 c MORE pecans sprinkled to the TOP of the cake after pouring into 13x9 pan. And again, this one flew! Thanks, Debbie

I made this cake according to the recipe and I must say I was disappointed. It was very moist but I thought it lacked flavor. I was really disappointed as I had read all the rave reviews.

Excellent! I followed the directions exactly, with one exception ... only had 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, so I toasted them and added them into the cake batter. Used a 1/4 cup of pecan chips for the topping. It was delicious!

GREAT-tasting and moist (it got the finicky hubby's stamp of approval)...AND WAY TOO EASY (if there is such a thing)! HOWEVER, please note: the 1st time I made this I took the advice of other reviewers, reducing the veg oil to 2/3C and the water to 3/4C and ended up with a CRUMBLY MESS! (I even used a bread knife and a "sawing motion" as others suggested, and it still fell apart). This time I followed the ORIGINAL recipe and the cake held together! (Imagine that!) (It IS very moist, tho, so the bread knife/sawing method helps). Made sure to mix batter thoroughly---crumbling all the cake mix clumps as I stirred---and once I filled the bundt pan with the batter, gave it a good couple of raps on the counter to get rid of the air bubbles. I used butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray, and suggest you wait 'til cake cools completely before removing it from pan. I also toasted the well-chopped pecans as another reviewer suggested (spread out on cookie sheet for 5 mins. at 350 degrees). Toasting them makes a difference! Thank you for sharing, Debbie...SO generous of you! And lastly...STOCK UP WHEN THESE INGREDIENTS GO ON SALE AT THE MARKET!!! ;-)

Very moist. Couldn't find Butter Pecan cake mix, so I used plain Butter mix instead. Also cut back the pecans to about 1/3 cup. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Yum!

Ohhh this is so good. Followed suggestions of 2/3 cup oil and 3/4 cup water. Chopped the pecans small so it was easy to cut. Doesn't even need a glaze. Tried it right out of the oven and wasn't impressed, but next day it was wonderful. I was a little leary of the icing in the cake, but you don't really notice the sweetness just the coconut. EASY AND VERY GOOD.

Wonderful! I took it to a dinner a church and everyone loved it. I did as suggested and used 3/4 cup water and 2/3 oil. I also used a carmel glaze and then topped with toasted pecans. This recipe is a keeper!

I made this as a b-day cake and people were coming back for 2nd and 3rd helpings. As recommended cut the oil down to 2/3 and the water to 3/4. I also made a citrus glaze for it (thought the carmel would make the cake too sweet). Citrus Glaze was 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon grated orange peel, & 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of orange juice. Perfect complement to a perfect cake!

Fabulous! I made exactly as the recipe states, and it was wonderful. Folks couldn't get over how moist it was. Do let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes or so before removing or it will crumble apart. Terrific - thanks so much!

I made this exactly as written and it was very good. The pecans that are placed in the pan before the batter make it a little difficult to slice, though. I may just mix in the whole cup of pecans into the mix next time. Several people asked for the recipe. I also drizzled it with canned caramel frosting that I softened in the microwave. It was perfect with vanilla ice cream.

A wonderful, moist cake. Everyone likes it. I have made it with the butter pecan mix and also with a plain yellow mix when the butter pecan is not available. The butter pecan mix is sweeter, I think, but both are quite good.

Outstanding cake. Made it the first time with the "Butter Recipe" cake mix and walnuts. It was okay. The second time I made it I used the "Butter Pecan" cake mix and pecans. I followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious! I wouldn't bother making it again with anything but ALL the required ingredients.

An unbelievably easy cake to make that my husband says is the best cake I have ever made. I will cut back on the oil next time, but other than that it is perfect as is. I did use the Butter Pecan cake mix and the required frosting. If you can't find them in your store, try Netgrocer.com or another online shopping site to get the right cake mix. This is a keeper.

AWESOME CAKE! This is such an easy recipe and so moist. It comes out looking a little plain so I dusted it with powdered sugar...beautiful. I thought it was plenty sweet but those of you who have a sweet tooth, you might want to drizzle a little something over the top. I omitted the 1/2cup of pecans in the batter thinking it would be too much but I could have left them in there. I highly recommend this cake.
