Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and shredded coconut. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and carefully spread the warm coconut-brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and golden brown.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Danish Brovst Dream Coffee Cake with a fresh cup of coffee!
