Brown Sugar Cake

As listed, this tastes a bit like Almond Joy baked in a cake - coconut, dark chocolate and almond extract work well together.  Other options:  Use all vanilla extract, double the coconut, double the chocolate, use cinnamon chips, use nuts - go nuts....or not.

1 1/4 c  Flour
1/2 t  Salt
1 1/2 t  Baking Powder
2 T  Sugar
2 c  Light Brown Sugar
4 lg Eggs
1/2 t  Almond Extract
1/2 t  Vanilla
1 c  Coconut
1 c  Dark Chocolate Chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.  Set aside.


Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and brown sugar.  

Add eggs and vanilla, beat with a spoon until well blended (will be stiff).

Add coconut and chocolate chips.  

Spread into pan.

Bake 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
