1. Bake cake according to package directions.
2. I use 2 round pans to layer it.
3. Cut the butter into pieces & set aside.
4. In a saucepan, stir the flour and sugar over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the butter pieces & pour in the milk.
6. Stir well.

8. Remember to stir every few seconds or it will stick!
9. Stir in the coconut & pecans.
10. Mix well & remove from the heat.
11. Allow to cool for only a minute or so before placing on the cake.
