Directions:
Preheat oven 350 degrees

In a large mixer bowl add the cake mix, vanilla pudding, milk, eggs and butter. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Fold in chopped nuts and coconut. Pour in two greased/floured round cake pans and bake per box instructions. Cool completely before frosting.

In medium size mixer bowl blend butter and cream cheese, add powder sugar and enough cream to make it smooth for spreading. Frost cake and sprinkle with remaining coconut. I like to add extra pecans as well

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I like to make cakes the day before and freeze prior to frosting. Easier to frost and seem to be more moist. If you add parchment paper to the bottom of your pan your cakes will come out better. Finally always toast your nuts before adding to any recipe, it brings out their best flavor.
