                        -TOPPING-
     1/2  cup           sugar
   1                    egg
     1/2  cup           evaporated milk
     1/4  cup           butter or margarine
   1      teaspoon      vanilla
     2/3  cup           flaked coconut
     1/2  cup           chopped pecans

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt, egg,
butter
and 1 cup of the flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to
form
a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic,
about 3-5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover
and let rest for 20 minutes. Punch dough down. Press into the bottom and up
the sides of a greased 15x10x1" baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat
cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add cocoa and sugar. Beat until fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Pour into crust. Bake at 350 F.
for
20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool. In a saucepan, combine
first four topping ingredients. Cook over Low heat until thick, about 8-10
minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, stir in vanilla, coconut
and nuts. Spread over cooled cake. Chill at least 1 hour. Store in
refrigerator.
