Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.

For Cake:
In a large bowl, combine ingredients for cake and mix by hand until frothy and well mixed.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

While cake is baking, prepare icing.

For Icing:
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to stir and boil for exactly 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut and pecans.

Spread warm icing over cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Store in covered pan.

NOTES : This cake is very moist and stays that way until it is all gone.
