Lazy Daisy Hot Milk Cake

Ingredients

For the cake

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla

For the topping

• 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup flaked coconut
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (OR half and half works,)
• 1/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350�. Grease an 8-inch square pan. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, bring the milk and 2 Tbsp. butter to a boil. Remove from heat and cover.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can hand mix with a little more effort :) ), beat the eggs on medium for about 5 minutes.
4. Slowly add the sugar and blend until thoroughly incorporated. Slowly add the warm milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
5. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Batter won't be as thick as other cakes-don't worry. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. *Check cake at 25 minutes as oven temps vary and you don't want to dry it out.*
6. Spread topping (see below) over cake and return to oven. Broil for just 2-4 minutes until bubbly/lightly browned. Serve warm.
