It was a cinch and it had a great flavor. This is an old-fashioned recipe that has been around for awhile so I decided I'm going to make it for the seniors when I cook for them next Thursday. The cake is basically a hot milk sponge cake with a broiled coconut topping. I love coconut so I loved the toping!! Robin isnt a super huge coconut fan, but she enjoyed it. I cut the recipe in half and made it in a 9inch square pan. <br /><br />Here is the full recipe for a 9 x 13<br />4 eggs<br />2 c. sugar<br />2 tsp vanilla<br />2 cups flour<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />2 tsp baking powder<br />1 c. milk( I used skim with no ill effects)<br />1/4 c. butter<br /><br />topping<br />1 1/2 c. brown sugar<br />3/4 c. butter( I actually will cut down the butter next time I make it)<br />1/2 c. half and half<br />2 cups coconut. <br /><br />In mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla for 4 minutes. Add flour, baking powder and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk and butter to a boil, stiring constantly. Add to batter, mix until combined. Pour into greased pan and bake at 350 for 30-45 min.<br /><br />Combine topping ingredients, spread over warm cake. Broil until light brown 3-4 minutes.Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06706134539834283798noreply@blogger.com
