4. To make the topping, melt the butter and the sugar in a pan. Stir in the desiccated coconut and spread this mixture on the pre-baked base. Return the cake with the topping to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes at the same temperature until done.
5. Leave the cake to cool down on the baking sheet, placed on a rack.
