I found a great Pumpkin Cake or Bar recipe on the Internet a number of years ago, but can't find it again. Can someone please help me?!

The recipe does not include a cake mix, has quite a number of ingredients and has a Coconut/Pecan topping.

If anyone knows of this recipe or can help me, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!!! :D
