1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine brown sugar and milk in a large bowl; add coconut and pecans; mix well. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat, tilting pan to coat bottom evenly. Drop coconut mixture in spoonfuls over bottom of skillet; pat into an even layer, forming a smooth surface.

3. Loosen edges of cake from skillet. Carefully invert onto large, heat-proof serving plate. Use a rubber scraper to remove any topping that might remain in bottom of skillet; spread over top of cake. Cool completely.
