Ingredients

1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
1 cup fat-free milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 can (15 ounces) coconut-pecan frosting
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, milk, eggs and applesauce; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fold in coconut and pecans. Pour into two 9-in. round baking pans coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 350° for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Place frosting in a large bowl; fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture between layers and over the top and sides of cake. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 16 servings.
