I made only a couple changes to this recipe I adopted from the RecipeZaar account in February 2005. I increased the butter from 3/4 to 1 cup, changed the milk from canned evaporated milk (which I am not terribly fond of) to regular whole milk, and decreased the amount of milk from 1 cup to 3/4 cup (the additional 1/4 cup butter makes up the difference). This delicious topping is the perfect topping for Fruit Cocktail Cake. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup pecans |
1/2 cup coconut |
3/4 cup whole milk |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar, butter, and milk in a heavy saucepan (2 quarts or larger) and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, then boil for 5 minutes while you continue to stir.
2. Remove from heat and add pecans and coconut, then immediately pour hot mixture over cake (cooled or uncooled).
3. Note: frosting will be thin, so the liquid can be absorbed by the cake; only the coconut and a thin glaze will be left on top of the cake; the rest will soak into the cake-This is the only frosting you will want to use over Fruit Cocktail Cake (Fruit Cocktail Cake)!
