Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degree F.

Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with non stick cooking spray.

Cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar.

Beat in eggs one at a time, vanilla and then mix in flour.

Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.

Cool on cooling rack

Frosting:

Beat together butter, cheese, vanilla and add sugar.

Mix until well blended.

You can now toast coconut. I toast mine in a lighty sprayed skillet and keep tossing until golden. You can also place coconut on a baking sheet and toast in oven, turning frequently so not to burn.

Cut cooled cake into 24 squares and top with frosting and coconut.

Note: Best kept refrigerated.

Enjoy!
