This is a good moist cake. I followed the directions as written, and I was a little confused about the icing. I used just a 1/2 cup of margarine (oleo), and I wasn't sure if the icing needed to cook for a few minutes after the last three ingredients were added because it looked like it had too much liquid still in it. I spooned the icing on top of the warm cake, and the icing ran to the edges of the pan, so I had to spoon the coconut and nuts back to the top of the cake. The runny icing still tasted good and didn't effect the taste of the cake. If I make this cake again, I'm going to let the icing cook for a few minutes after the pecans, coconut and vanilla are added to allow the icing to thicken before I spoon it on top of the cake.
