Coconut Pecan Cake

Submitted by PaigeParkerMomma

"I was asked to bring a cake for a Youth Group Fundraiser Dinner. I always keep cake mixes on hand, but forgot to buy any icing. I made this up and it turned out to be a huge hit! Do not let the diet sprite turn you off I am not kidding this will be the most moist cake you have ever had!!!! This is a WW friendly recipe. I have not ran it through recipe builder yet but will post the points when I do."
