    1 c finely chopped pecans
    1 c unsweetened grated coconut, thawed

    2 large eggs
    1 tsp vanilla

    Recipe



    Preheat to 350.
    Place a rack in the center of the oven.

    Crust:
    Combine cake mix, butter, eggs, pecans and coconut in a large bowl.
    Blend for 2 minutes on low speed of an electric mixer.
    Scrape the sides of the bowl.
    The batter should come together in a ball.

    With fingertips, pat batter evenly over bottom of a 9x13 pan. Gently smooth until the top of the batter is smooth.
    Set aside.

    Filling:
    In the same bowl, blen cream cheese for 30 seconds.
    Add eggs, milk, and melted butter.
    Beat on low speed for 1 minute.
    Add powdered sugar and beat on medium speed until sugar is incorporated, about 1 minute.

    Pour filling over crust and spread with a spatula so it is evenly spread over crust.

    Bake at 350 for 45 to 47 minutes or until it is well browned but center still jiggles when you shake the pan.

    Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
