2/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1 slightly beaten egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
salt |
Directions:
1. Combine first four ingredients and a dash of salt.
2. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and bubbles, about 12 minutes.
3. Cool slightly; add remaining ingredients.
4. Cool.
5. Frosts two 8-inch layers or one 9x13-inch cake.
