Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a slightly tangy flavor. If you don't have coconut pecan frosting mix, a simple buttercream or cream cheese frosting can work as an alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cake mix for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any flavor of cake mix you prefer. Chocolate or vanilla would work well, but keep in mind that it will alter the overall flavor of the cake.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If it comes out wet with batter, it needs more time in the oven.
Can I freeze the brunch cake?
Absolutely! Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing. It can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
