This is an old-fashioned favourite I love with a cup of tea or coffee. Ingredients:
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 |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
2 tablespoons milk |
1/2 cup coconut flakes |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Beat eggs in mixing bowl until frothy; beat in sugar in 4 or 5 separate additions; stir in vanilla.
3. Next, stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Heat milk and butter together in small saucepan just until hot; add to batter, stirring slowly and carefully.
5. Scrape into a greased 9-inch square cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until cake tests done with a toothpick.
6. Make topping- combine last 4 ingredients together in a small saucepan; heat and stir until hot and sugar is dissolved.
7. Spread topping over cake fresh from the oven; leave oven on.
8. Return cake to oven and heat until topping is bubbling well, anywhere from 3-5 minutes.
9. Variation: use chopped pecans or walnuts instead of the coconut.
