I couldn't get the ask for mix here in Canada so I made a very basic vanilla coffeecake recipe with less milk than you would for the cake and adding the coconut. I made the topping with the nuts and coconut with the addition of 1 tsp of margarine and rubbed it all together. Lowered the oven temp to 350 while I was making the topping and slid them back in for 5 mins. Mine finished up being well baked but very pale but still delicious. :D
