How to Make Hot Milk Sponge Cake With Broiled Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating for another 4 minutes until thick and pale.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  8. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup whole milk and 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter over medium heat until the milk begins to foam (do not boil).
  9. Remove from heat and add to the batter, mixing well.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. While the cake is still warm, frost with your favorite frosting (optional).
  12. **For the Broiled Coconut Topping:**
  13. In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  14. Add 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and mix well.
  15. Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the warm cake.
  16. Place the cake under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, watching carefully, until the topping is golden brown. Broilers vary, so keep a close eye to prevent burning.
