Yield Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup (225 g) granulated sugar
1⁄2 tsp. vanilla sugar (see note at top)
1¾ cups (225 g) all-purpose flour or cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2⁄3 cup (150 ml) whole milk
3⁄4 stick (75 g) butter, melted
1 stick (100 g) butter
1½ cups (150 g) dried shredded coconut
1¼ cups (250 g) dark brown sugar
1⁄3 cup (75 ml) whole milk
Pinch salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a 9-inch springform or round cake pan, greased and lined with baking parchment.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar and vanilla sugar on a high speed for a few minutes, until white and light. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together.
Carefully fold the flour into the egg mixture. Mix the milk with the melted butter in a jug/pitcher and carefully pour into the batter, folding it in until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until almost done (try not to open the oven door for the first 20 minutes of the total baking time).
To make the topping, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and gently melt together.
Remove the cake from the oven and carefully spread the topping all over the cake. Return to the oven. Turn up the heat to 400°F and bake for a further 5 minutes.
Leave cake to cool before eating, if you can (we are well aware it's hard to do that).

Tips:

- To make a tall and fluffy sponge cake, beat the eggs and sugar until they are thick and pale, and the sugar has completely dissolved. - Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough. - For a moist and tender cake, use a combination of butter and oil in the batter. - To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter. - Bake the cake at a moderate temperature until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting or decorating. - For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. - To make a variety of flavors of frosting, add different extracts or flavorings. - Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh berries. ###
