Cool in pans on rack for 15 minutes. Remove and cool completely on racks. Frost with coconut pecan frosting, below.
Coconut Pecan Frosting and Filling
* 3/4 cup evaporated milk
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
* 1 1/3 cups Baker's Angel Flake coconut (3-ounce can)

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, sugars, butter, and vanilla. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat (mixture might appear a bit curdled).
