2 large eggs, room temperature1 cup sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 cup cake flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt1/2 cup 2% milk2 tablespoons butterFROSTING:3/4 cup packed brown sugar1/2 cup butter, melted2 tablespoons half-and-half cream1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla on high until thick and lemon-colored, about 4 minutes. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture. Beat on low just until combined. Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan until butter melts. Add to batter; beat thoroughly (the batter will be thin). Pour batter into a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly. For frosting, blend all ingredients well; spread over warm cake. Broil about 4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
