Hot Milk Cake
This is good when it is still warm (and when it is cooled too). The cake is a light cake that you can also use without the topping. It makes a nice base for strawberry shortcake (top slices with sweetened strawberries and whipped cream) or with other fruit and ice cream, etc.

Cake:
1 tbs. Butter
½ cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
½ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking powder

Topping:
5 tbs. Butter
5 tbs. Brown or white sugar
3 tbs. Milk or cream
¾ cup coconut

Directions:
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat milk and butter together until milk is hot but not boiling, and butter is melted.
In mixer bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until very light. Stir in vanilla.
Mix flour, salt and baking powder together. Remove beaters and add flour mixture to egg mixture alternately with milk-butter mixture. Fold until smooth.
Spread batter in a greased 9 inch square pan. Bake for 20 minutes, until top of cake springs back when touched lightly.

Topping:
Melt butter. Add sugar, milk and coconut.
While cake is hot, carefully spread topping over. Place under hot broiler and watch until bubbly and golden.
