Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, oj, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla, mix well.
• Fold the apples, coconut and pecans into the batter.
• Pour batter into the pan and bake about 1 1/2 hours until you have a clean tester (toothpick).
• Right before the cake is done make the sauce.
• Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Stir in sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda; bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
• Boil for a minute. Take cake out and use a skewer or a knife and poke small holes all over the cake.
• Pour the sauce over the cake and let it sit for a hour until the sauce is absorbed into the cake.
