    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13-inch pan.

    BASE: In large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup flour at a time, blending after each addition. Stir in pecans. Spread evenly over bottom of buttered pan. Bake 12 minutes, remove to rack.

    TOPPING: Beat eggs, coffee powder and salt until light. While beating constantly at med-high speed, slowly add sugar, beating until mixture is thick and pale and ribbons form when beaters are lifted -- 5-10 minutes. With mixer running, gradually add 1/2 cup Kahlua, then flour and baking powder. Beat only until combined. Fold in coconut, pour evenly over baked crust. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons Kahlua. Return to oven and bake an additional 5 minutes or until top is set and evenly browned. Dust with powdered sugar.

    Cut into 48 squares. Store airtight one week, freeze for longer storage.
