coconut

Yum

Do you love coconut? I do! Surround it with nuts and a gooey, warm sweet glaze on top of cake right-out-of-the oven and, YUM! I won’t be able to stop eating it. Will you?  🙂

Grandmother’s Kitchen created this luscious dessert they say to prepare and serve it right away, while it is still warm. 

Here’s the recipe for this amazing cake:

Ingredients

Directions

• Lightly butter and flour a 9″ square baking pan and set aside.
• In a medium sized bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and sugar until thick, about 5 minutes the beat in the vanilla.
• Meanwhile in a saucepan on the stove top, heat milk and butter until simmering. Stir and watch to not scorch.
• Slowly add the egg mixture in a slow and steady stream as you continue beating until well combined.
• Fold the dry ingredients into the hot milk mixture until just combined. Don’t over beat.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes or until golden brown and the cake is starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.
• Remove from the oven and sit the pan on a cooling rack.
• Cool cake in pan for 5 minutes. Poke a few holes in the cake with a fork and drizzle with glaze while cake is still warm.

• Prepare the glaze to to be ready to drizzle over the cake while it is still warm.
• Whisk together the coconut milk, and confectioner’s sugar,until smooth.
• If it is too thick, stir in a little more coconut milk. If the glaze is to thin, stir in more confectioners’s sugar. Stir in the coconut and chopped walnuts.
• Serve this cake warm.
