Made this to spec except that I put ALL the pecans in the pan first rather than half in the cake. It came out perfectly moist, I didn't find it overly sweet at all, and it got hubby's stamp of approval though he isn't fond of coconut - he said its a keeper. It is rich, so I recommend small slices! So easy to make it will be a regular in my kitchen.

This is one of my favorite cakes: easy to make and DELICIOUS! I use yellow cake mix or chocolate cake mix as well the pecan cake mix - use what you have.

They no longer make the coconut pecan frosting in a container so how did you make the cake? I have been wanting to make the cake again but Betty Crocker has discontinued the frosting and I don't know what to use.

I made this for a Christmas party last year and have been asked to make it again this year. The only thing I changed was I used glazed pecans instead of plain ones. I made the night before and it had pleanty of time for cooling. There were NO leftovers! Even with 20 or more desserts for some 25 people to choose from.

I made this cake yesterday and must say, it's one of the best cakes I've ever baked. You won't be disappointed if you try this recipe....it's perfect as written (and stupendous topped with Caramel Glaze). My Honey doesn't like most cakes, but he has eaten 5 slices of this one! Definitely one of the best recipes I've tried.

This is my "go to" cake. It always gets great reviews and requests for the recipe. I omit the pecans that go into the pan and use a glaze. I've also made this as a birthday cake with cream cheese frosting. Delish!!!!
