This is a simple recipe—and especially easy in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. The result is a deliciously light, airy cake. —Suzanne Coelman, Rabun Gap, Georgia

Ingredients

1/2 cup 2% milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
TOPPING:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Scald milk by bringing it almost to a boil; set aside to cool. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored; stir in vanilla. Gradually add sugar, blending well. On low speed, alternately mix in milk and dry ingredients. Pour batter into a greased 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet.
Bake until cake springs back when lightly touched, 25-30 minutes. Remove cake and preheat broiler. Combine all topping ingredients and sprinkle over cake. Broil 5 in. from the heat until topping bubbles and turns golden brown. Serve warm.
