Broiled Frosting for Vanilla Cake
Make the Best Sour Cream Cake batter
Elevation ~6k ft? Make the High Altitude version instead
Pour into a 13”x9” prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the cake and change temperature to Broil. Do not move the oven rack.
About 5 minutes before the cake is done, prepare the frosting.
To a medium mixing bowl, add:
1 cup coconut
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup nuts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
Stir together and drop by small spoonfuls onto warm, baked cake.
It will be difficult to spread without destroying the cake, so the intent is to cover the surface without needing to spread the frosting out.
Return the cake to the oven, leaving the rack at the standard height for baking.
Broil for about 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. It is done once the frosting is bubbling. Remove from oven. Cool and serve.
