Busy Day Cake {recipe}

My sister, Jeannine {hi J!}, introduced me to this yummy coconut pecan topped coffee cake recipe years ago.  It was from an old Betty Crocker cookbook and I guess she had lost the recipe. Fast forward a few years later, she called me and was so excited, she found that same cookbook at her friends house and quickly copied down the recipe.  She had been looking online and everywhere for the recipe.  I giggled and said, "Um J, I HAVE that recipe. You already gave it to me."  

I had no clue she was looking for it.  Ha!
