Ingredients
  

For the cake

  • 4 pieces eggs Beaten until frothy.
  • 2 1/4 cups packed brown sugar Can use light or dark sugar.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix Can substitute with other baking mixes.
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

For greasing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
  • Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs, and mix until well combined.
  • Stir in the Bisquick baking mix until a slightly thick batter forms, with some small lumps remaining.
  • Gently fold in the sweetened shredded coconut.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Check if done by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with ice cream.

Notes

Sad Cake is delicious fresh but gets better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For variations, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or chocolate chips.
