Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to proper temperature indicated on the box for the type of baking vessel you prepfer. In a large bowl, mix cake batter according to package directions.
- 2. Once batter is mixed, add can of frosting. Fold into batter until well incorporated.
- 3. Pour batter into a greased and floured (we use baking nonstick spray with flour) 13 x 9 baking dish. Original recipe calls for the use of a Bundt pan so you can use this pan if desired. Bake until cake is golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- 4. Remove from oven and let cool completely. If using Bundt pan, cool for few minutes before removing the cake from the pan to completely cool. Spread tub of cool whip all over the top of the cake (or all over cake if used the Bundt pan).
- 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.

SOUTHERN PECAN CAKE
Because pecan trees are such an iconic symbol in Texas, this recipe is a classic in any Southern home. I remember eating this cake as a baby, even picking the pecans myself from the trees in my grandmother's backyard. When I chose to enter it in at the County Fair, my grandmother gave her coveted recipe secrets to me. And, now, this award-winning cake can be enjoyed in your home, too!

PECAN TORTE
This is an old family recipe that uses our Texas pecans. I've made it often for birthdays and family gatherings. My brother-in-law said it was the only cake he's ever eaten in which the cake tastes as good as the frosting!
