Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Topping
  • 5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup fancy flaked coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease and flour a 9x9" pan or a 10" round cake tin.
  3. Beat eggs until thick and creamy. Add sugar and beat to mix well. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a separate medium sized bowl. Melt butter in the microwave in a heat-proof measuring cup. Measure milk and vanilla into the butter and microwave again just to warm the milk.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, just blending until combined. Mix in the milk and butter mixture. Pour into prepared cake pan.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and a skewer poked in the center comes out clean.
  6. Mix together the topping ingredients and spoon over the warm cake. Gently spread the topping over the top to the edges of the cake with the back of the spoon. Turn the oven on broil and set the cake pan about 4" below the broiler. Broil just until the topping begins to bubble, lightly brown and caramelize. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Don't over-broil or the topping will become a chewy, candied texture.
