3 c. flour
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2/3 c. shortening
2 c. sugar

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Cream shortening and sugar together. Blend in 4 eggs, one a time. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla to 1 1/4 cups water. Add alternately with dry ingredients to creamed mixture - use low speed. Don't over beat. Pour into well greased and lightly floured oblong cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

While still warm spread topping over cake and put under broiler until golden brown.

I cream together a good amount of butter and brown sugar, moisten with orange juice to be spreading consistency after plenty of coconut is added. Use your own judgment as to how thick. You want your topping.
