- Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
Topping:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded coconut
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the topping: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and milk, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut.
- When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and spread the topping evenly over the hot cake.
- Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbling.
- Let the cake cool in the pan before serving.
