- 1 pkg. white cake mix
- 3/4 c. skim milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 9-inch spring form pan with cooking spray.
Mix the cake mix, milk, margarine and eggs in a large bowl. Beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Add the 1/4 c. coconut and 1/4 c. pecans; stir to combine.
To make the filling/topping, mix together the 1/2 c. coconut, 1/2 c. pecans, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/2 c. of the mixture for the topping.
