Ingredients

Cake
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, heated
1 tablespoon butter
Topping
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup coconut flakes

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Beat eggs in mixing bowl until frothy; beat in sugar in 4 or 5 separate additions; stir in vanilla.
Next, stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
Heat milk and butter together in small saucepan just until hot; add to batter, stirring slowly and carefully.
Scrape into a greased 9-inch square cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until cake tests done with a toothpick.
Make topping-- combine last 4 ingredients together in a small saucepan; heat and stir until hot and sugar is dissolved.
Spread topping over cake fresh from the oven; leave oven on.
Return cake to oven and heat until topping is bubbling well, anywhere from 3-5 minutes.
Variation: use chopped pecans or walnuts instead of the coconut.
