#407 - Velvet Crumb Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 TBSP butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Broiled Topping: 1/2 cup Baker's angelflake coconut, 1/3 packed cup Domino's dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped nuts, 3 TBSP softened butter, 2 TBSP milk

In a mixer, beat Bisquck, white sugar, egg, 1/2 cup milk, 2 TBSP butter and vanilla--beat on low speed for 30 seconds--make sure you scrape the bowl while it's mixing. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping every minute or so. Pour batter into a greased and floured 8" baking dish or a 9" round cake pan. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly. In a bowl using a wooden spoon, stir together the coconut, brown sugar, chopped nuts, 3 TBSP butter, and 2 TBSP milk. Spread topping over slightly cooled cake. Set oven to "broil" and broil the cake 3" from the heat source for 3 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
