BROILED COCONUT ORANGE CAKE
Yields about 9 servings
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained
1 egg

Topping:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. butter or margarine, cubed
2 tbsp. milk
3/4 cup flaked coconut
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt.  Add mandarin oranges and egg; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan.  Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and milk.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.

Remove from the heat; stir in coconut.  Pour over warm cake.  Broil 6 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until top is browned. Cool on a wire rack.
