I tagged this recipe for Photo Tag and it's a true hit. I couldn't get the ask for mix so I made a very basic vanilla coffeecake recipe with less milk than you would for the cake and adding the coconut. Being diabetic I just couldn't bring myself to use the sugar glaze so I made the topping with the nuts and coconut with the addition of 1 tsp of margarine and rubbed it all together. I lowered the oven temp to 350 while I was making the topping and slid them back in for 5 mins. Mine finished up being well baked but very pale which I rather like. :D

One word --DELICOUS!!! These were so easy to make. Actually the DS helped me, but the directions were very easy to follow. We loved the coconut vanilla combo. There is nothing bad to say about this. I did not change anything. A definate repeat recipe to make again. Made for Zaar tag.
