Ingredients:  
Cake: 2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
3 cups AP flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F. Generously grease a tube pan.
Cake: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla. Mix well until combined. Fold the apples, coconut and pecans into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake until a tester comes out clean (approx. 1 1/2 hours). Shortly before the cake is done, prepare the sauce.
Sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Stir in the sugar, buttermilk and baking soda. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the hot sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let the cake stand for 1 hour to let the sauce soak down into the cake. Turn the cake out onto a rack or stand to cool completely after the sauce has soaked in.
