Beat eggs, add sugar, continue beating. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Add vanilla.
Add butter to milk and bring to boil. (I do this in microwave.) Then add hot milk mixture to egg mixture. Mix well and pour into pan. Bake until light brown.
Topping: Melt 2 teaspoons butter in small pan. Add 2 tablespoons milk and half cup brown sugar. Mix well. Pour over cake. Sprinkle with 1 cup coconut and brown in oven.
