1 cup coconut, unsweetened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canned evaporated milk or whipping cream
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Using a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients well. Spread on a hot cake, just after it has been taken out of the oven. This cake should be in a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Put cake with topping, still in its pan, back into the oven under the broiler. Broil until bubbly and just starting to brown. WATCH CAREFULLY as this happens VERY FAST.

Remove cake and cool in the pan.
