Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the batter into a baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes.

Check the cake for doneness; it should be brown and cooked through.

While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by placing 1 stick of butter in a saucepan.

Add 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of sugar to the saucepan and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 1 cup of pecans and 1 cup of coconut to the topping mixture and stir well.

After the cake has cooled slightly, pour the topping over the cake.
