For an even richer flavor, use brown butter for both the cake and the topping. To make brown butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. If you don't have shredded coconut, you can use coconut flakes. Just pulse them in a food processor until they are finely ground. The cake is best served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
