Description

This is quite possibly, the oldest recipe I have. I have great memories of visiting my Grandma when I was younger – and she would always prepare this because it was my dad’s favorite.

The cake is light, and bakes up very easily. The topping is about enough to send any sweet lover over the edge. I sometimes double the recipe for a 9×13 pan.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • _____
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 2 Tablespoons Half-and-half
  • ½ cups Flake Coconut

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat eggs with electric mixer or whisk until frothy. Slowly add in sugar, 2 Tablespoons at a time while beating, until thick. Add in vanilla and beat well.

In a separate bowl, combine flour with baking powder and salt. Add to egg/sugar mixture and stir until just combined.

In a saucepan, heat and stir milk and the 1 Tablespoon of butter on medum until butter is melted. Add to batter, and stir well, until no lumps remain.

Spread batter into a greased 9 inch round, or square pan.

Bake, 25 – 30 minutes, until toothpick in centre comes out clean.

To prepare topping:
Combine 3 Tablespoons of butter, brown sugar, and cream or half-and-half into saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil on medium high, stirring often. Remove from heat, and stir in coconut.

Pour over cake, and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the top is bubbly. Watch, as it can burn quickly.

Remove from oven, and let stand on rack until cool.

i think the coconut is what makes the topping – you could top the cake with another icing of your choice – it makes a great base for strawberry shortcake!
