Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['dairy_free'], recipe: mix sugar, butter, and milk in a heavy saucepan (2 quarts or larger) and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, then boil for 5 minutes while you continue to stir. remove from heat and add pecans and coconut, then immediately pour hot mixture over cake (cooled or uncooled). note: frosting will be thin, so the liquid can be absorbed by the cake; only the coconut and a thin glaze will be left on top of the cake; the rest will soak into the cake--this is the only frosting you will want to use over fruit cocktail cake (recipe #7061)!
