Ugly Duckling Cake with Pecans image

I orginally got this recipe from a Readers Digest, but I do not remember what year, probably late 70's. Very moist yellow cake with a moist coconut pecan topping. The kind you would use on a german chocolate cake. This cake is wonderful served with a dollop of cool whip or whipped cream on top.
