Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
1 (10 ounce) jar apricot preserves
2 cups shredded coconut
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Sift cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
  • Combine sugar, cream cheese, and softened butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating after each addition until smooth. Spread 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon apricot preserves on top and cover with remaining batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove cake and set on a wire rack. Turn on the broiler.
  • Combine coconut, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the topping in a bowl; stir until well distributed. Sprinkle topping over the cake.
  • Place the cake back into the oven and broil until topping is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Let cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
