Ingredients

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 eggs, room temp.

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup nuts, chopped

1 cup coconut

2 teaspoons milk

Preparation

Cake:Scald milk. Mix dry ingredients. Beat eggs with mixer at high speed until lemony and thick. Gradually add sugar while mixer is still on high; take 5 minutes to add sugar. Then at low speed, blend in flour mixture just until smooth. Add warm milk and vanilla just until combined. Pour immediately into an ungreased 10-inch iron skillet or 9-inch square greased baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly pressed.

Topping:Preheat broiler. Combine all ingredients for topping, adding milk last.

Spread on warm cake. Broil 5-inches from broiler for about 3 minutes, until bubbles and browns.
