I made this cake for my wife's birthday per her request. The cake was a hit, it was moist and tasty. The only comment I would make is to not try to turn the cake upside down but to slice the cake and serve the slices with a flat server, scraping the bottom of the pan, and flip the slices onto plates. Each slice will come out intact with a coconut/pecan topping.

Yes this cake is amazing! But i havent ever seen anyone ever actually attempt to turn the cake upside down. I notice that step is not included in this recipe either. I just thought the name was a reference to the topping being on the bottom? I have just always served it right out of the pan fresh from the oven... So is it actually supposed to be turned upside down?

This cake has to be a major sin. It is so good. Very moist. I served directly from the pan with a flat server and flipped it over on the plate. It was almost all eaten at one meal. Most people wanted seconds. Usually cake lasts all week and I have to throw out a piece or two. Not this one.
