  2. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch sheet cake pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add one 15.25 ounce box of your favorite white cake mix. Make a well in the center.
  4. Add 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water to the well.
  5. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for 1 minute.

  7. Mix the frosting into the batter on medium speed for 1 additional minute.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut and 1 cup of chopped pecans.
  9. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges have begun to pull away from the pan.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
