Instructions
Line two 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper. Coat pans with cooking spray and sprinkle with flour; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in applesauce and vanilla (mixture will appear curdled).
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Fold in pecans and coconut.
Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.
Sprinkle pecans over top of cake. Store in the refrigerator.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cake can be paired with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The Viva Diva Moscato Colada with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 11 dollars per bottle.
