Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of white sugar and 2 cups of all-purpose flour, and whisk together.

Add 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 0.75 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla flavoring to the mixture.

Open a 30-ounce can of fruit cocktail, measure out 16 ounces, and add it to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, starting with 40 minutes.

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by combining 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of white sugar, 1 stick of butter, and 1 cup of evaporated milk in a saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Once boiling, cook for 2 minutes, then add 0.75 cup of chopped pecans and 1.5 cups of shredded coconut, along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Stir the mixture and pour it over the warm cake after it has finished baking.

Allow the cake to cool slightly before cutting into it.
