Ingredients
  

Topping:

  • 350 g toasted pecans chopped
  • 85 g shredded coconut
  • 140 g brown sugar
  • 85 g butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cake:

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 200 g brown sugar packed
  • 240 ml milk
  • 150 g butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) pan with aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Grease the foil with non-stick spray.
  • Spread the chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and brown sugar in the prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt, and drizzle with vanilla extract and melted butter.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla, mixing until thoroughly combined.
  • Add baking powder and salt, mixing until incorporated. Add half of the flour, followed by milk, and then the remaining flour, mixing well after each addition.
  • Pour the batter over the pecan mixture in the pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a knife to loosen the sides. Invert the cake onto a platter using the foil overhang and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
