Oh my, this was delicious! I thought I had made a mistake in the recipe as the pecan/coconut topping was very soupy when I poured it over the hot cake. When I served the cake after it cooled, the topping had seemed to "set". This made a fabulous dessert that we all highly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
