TOPPING
Beat together 1 c brown sugar, 1/2 stick butter, coconut & pecan pieces. Add milk enough to spread over baked cake, place under broiler & let brown. Be careful, this only takes a few minutes. This cake was very popular when the kids were small & we went camping a lot. It is easily carried to picnics & camping. Grandma Johnson wrote the recipe for me.
