Lazy Summer Sponge Cake image

This is a recipe for a cake that my Mom used to make a lot. It is light and nice for a warm summer day. It's easy and delicious. If you like sponge cake and coconut, you will really like this cake. Sorry, but I do not have a picture. Next time I make it I will take one.

Number Of Ingredients 14

BATTER
1 cup(s) milk, scalded
1/4 cup(s) butter
4 - eggs
1 3/4 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
TOPPING
1/2 cup(s) heavy cream
1 cup(s) flaked coconut
2/3 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup(s) pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13x9 inch pan. Set aside. Add butter to scalded milk; set aside. Combine eggs, sugar and vanilla. Beat for 1 1/2 minutes at high speed until thick and lemon colored. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add to egg mixture. Beat 1 minute at low speed. Add milk mixture; beat for 1 minute. Be sure to use a spatula and make sure mixtures are incorporated as the egg-flour mixture is very thick and will be at the bottom of the bowl. Pour into prepared pan. Spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool slightly. Prepare topping while cake is baking.
  • Topping: Combine heavy cream, (do not use milk-it will curdle) and brown sugar in small pan. Bring to boil over medium heat and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and nuts. Spread mixture over cake.
