Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13″ baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a bowl, add oil, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs and mix again.

Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to wet ingredients; incorporate thoroughly.

Pour batter into pan and bake for 22-28 minutes (or until brownie starts to pull away from the sides of the pan).

While brownies cool, prepare frosting. Mix evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla together in a sauce pan.  Stir constantly over medium heat until it comes to a slow boil.  Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens – about 10 to 11 minutes (it must be cooked that long).  Remove saucepan from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Let frosting cool before spreading on cooled brownies.
