Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs, beaten to blend
- 1 cup sugar
For Frosting
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350, and grease an 8 inch square baking dish.
- Whisk together the flour and the baking powder.
- Combine 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a small saucepan and heat to almost boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Beat the eggs and sugar in mixer until it is thick, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture until it is just smooth. Add the hot milk mixture and stir until well-combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes while you make the frosting.
- Stir the melted butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk and coconut together. Spread over the warm cake, making sure you cover it all the way to the edges.
- Place under the broiler until golden, watching it the entire time so it doesn’t get too dark, about 2 minutes or so.
- Remove and cool, and then cut into squares and enjoy with a friend!
