Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until light and fluffy.
  3. Sift in all-purpose flour and salt, gently folding in with a spatula. Add shredded coconut and fold until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
