Ingredients

cooking spray
3 cups cut canned yams
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup water
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons water
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups chopped pecans
2 cups flaked coconut

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 12x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Beat yams, eggs, 1 cup water, evaporated milk, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup butter, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth; spread into prepared baking dish.

Bake in preheated oven until the topping is lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Cool at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
