Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (175 C) for about 25-30 min. Make the topping while the cake is in the oven.
Take the cake out of the oven and turn the oven up to 440 F (225 C).

Put the cake back in the oven and let it bake for 5 more minutes.
Let the cake cool before serving or storing it in an air-tight container for later use.
Topping:
Put the butter, coconut flour, brown sugar and milk in a pot and let it come to the boiling point while constantly stirring.
Immediately remove the pot from the heat once the mixture reaches the boiling point.
Set aside until step 6 in the cake making is completed, then continue with step 7 of making the cake.
