Coffee Cake!

Best coffee cake ever! I've made this one again and again and it's always a big hit. I got it from a teacher aide at my kids elementary school. The big kid is now graduating college soon, so that's how long I've had this recipe. The teacher aide brought it in to a class function and everyone begged for the recipe. I've been making it ever since. You won't even notice the coconut. But it adds to the moistness of the cake. My addition was the pecans. The original recipe didn't have them because there's no nuts allowed at school, except for the occasional parent. Myself included :)
