Ingredients
  • Cake:
  • I used a box mix this time. Follow directions and you're set for a very moist cake. I prefer German chocolate or devil's food.
  • Frosting:
  • 1 C evaporated milk ( I use 2%)
  • 1 C sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ½ C butter
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1⅓ coconut
  • 1 C chopped pecans (or black walnuts)
Instructions
  1. Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, vanilla. Cook and stir over medium heat in a heavy bottomed sauce pan approximately 12 minutes. Take off burner and add coconut and nuts.
