Hot Milk Cake with Browned Coconut Frosting

Ingredients

For the Cake

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Frosting

• 2/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a 9x13 cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, cream eggs and sugar until mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture until smooth.

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. Gradually add to batter and mix until just combined, then mix in vanilla.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. While cake is baking, combine frosting ingredients and set aside.

Remove cake from oven, frost with Browned Coconut Frosting and broil until frosting is browned (approximately 2-3 minutes). Serve warm.
