Recipe Introduction


This recipe is from a scrap of paper that my mother wrote it onto. It is a delicious old-fashioned type cake that is oh so good warm from the oven.



List of Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter


Recipe




Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.

Sift together the sifted flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside.

With an electric mixer, beat the eggs at medium-high setting for 4 minutes. Beat in the sugar, gradually, and add the vanilla extract. Beat until incorporated.

In a small saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup butter in the milk. Do not boil.

Turn mixer speed to low and add the sifted flour mixture alternately with the hot milk mixture. Scrape down sides of mixer bowl as needed, and beat until the batter is uniformly smooth. Batter will be thin. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick in center of cake comes out clean.

Icing:
While cake is baking, prepare icing. Don't begin actually cooking it until the cake is done.

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
6 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flaked coconut (optional - due to allergies)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional - due to allergies)

Combine brown sugar, cream and butter in a 2-quart saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil for two minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and stir in coconut and pecans. Spoon icing over hot cake and spread evenly.
Place the cake under broiler 5 to 7 inches from the heat source, and broil 1 to 2 minutes, until icing is bubbly and browned, watching carefully and rotating pan as necessary for even browning. Cool completely on wire rack.
