Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, brown sugar, and softened butter. Mix with your hands or a fork until a crumbly topping forms.
Sprinkle the coconut topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
