For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the topping. Toast the coconut before adding it to the topping for a nuttier taste. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use half-and-half or whole milk, but the topping may be slightly thinner. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
