Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
Topping:
- 9 tablespoons butter melted
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons evaporated milk (recommended: Carnation)
- 1 ½ cups shredded coconut (recommended: Baker's Angel Flake)
Instructions
Make the Layer:
- Place an oven rack in the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or glass baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Heat together the butter and milk just until the butter has completely melted. Remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla. Set aside.
- Use an electric mixer to beat together the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Alternately fold the flour and warm milk mixture into the egg mixture until completely incorporated.
- Transfer the finished batter to the prepared baking dish or pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (about 30-35 minutes).
Cup of Yum
Make the Topping:
- While the cake is cooling, make the topping by combining the butter, brown sugar, evaporated milk, and coconut.
- Spread the topping evenly over the baked layer.
- Turn on the oven broiler element; transfer the pan to the oven and broil until brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven. Let cool briefly. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to both grease and flour the pan or baking dish to ensure your dessert slides out of the pan with ease.
- To make ahead, bake and top as directed in the recipe, but wait to broil it until just before you’re ready to serve.
- To store, slice into individual serving-sized pieces and wrap with plastic wrap before storing in an airtight container. They'll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Serve either warm or at room temperature. To reheat individual servings, simply pop them in the microwave and heat in 30-second increments until warmed through.
