While the cake is baking, combine the evaporated milk, butter, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir continuously until the mixture starts to boil. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

4. Finish the Cake:

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the warm icing over the hot cake, spreading it evenly.

Let the cake cool to allow the icing to set.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

Slice and serve once cooled. Enjoy the moist, sweet, and nutty flavors of this tropical-inspired treat!
