       1 (16-ounce) package light brown sugar
       3 large eggs
       2 cups all-purpose flour
       1 teaspoon baking soda
       1/2 teaspoon salt
       1 ((8 oz)) container sour cream
       1 cup hot water
       2 teaspoons vanilla extract
       Coconut Pecan Frosting*
       1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
       1-1/2 cups sugar

       6 egg yolks
       1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
       2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
       1-1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
       Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to

       time). Stir
       until smooth. Beat butter and brown sugar at medium speed with
       an electric
       mixer, beating about 5 minutes or until well blended. Add eggs,
       1 at a time,
       beating just until blended after each addition. Add melted
       chocolate,
       beating just until blended.

       heavy 3-quart
       saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring
       constantly,
       12 minutes. Remove from heat; add remaining ingredients, and
       stir until
       frosting is cool and of spreading consistency.
