Lazy Dazy Cake


Ingredients
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence (extract)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
60g butter (1/4 cup)

Topping
1 and 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
150 g butter (3/4 cup), melted
1/2 cup milk or cream
2 cups thread (flaked) coconut

Method
Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until thick - about 4 minutes
Combine flour, baking powder and salt and add to egg mixture
Beat until just combined
In a saucepan, bring milk and butter to a boil, stirring constantly (I microwave mine)
Add to batter and beat until combined (batter will be runny like a pancake batter)
Pour into a greased and paper lined 18x28 cm (9x13x2") baking pan
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done
Combine topping ingredients
Spread over warm cake
Place under grill (broiler) until lightly browned (watch it in case it burns!)
