• 5. Sprinkle coconut all over the cool whip and then sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the coconut. Cake is ready to be served. Refrigerate leftovers.
• 6. *Variations: We substituted Caramel cake mix when Butter Pecan cake mix was not available. If making the cake in the Bundt pan, you can choose to skip the cool whip, coconut, and pecans and just serve the cake with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top. You can also frost the cake with another can of the coconut pecan frosting if desired. You can really make this cake recipe your own by trying different variations.
