3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Mix at low speed just until blended. Fold in pecans, apples and coconut. (Batter will be stiff.) Spoon into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool cake about 30 minutes. Remove from pan and immediately drizzle glaze over cake. Yield: one 10-inch cake. Will serve about 20, as it is quite rich.
