This is a family tradition. It's too sweet for pretty much anyone except me and my dead grandmother, so I'm the one who makes it now.
Bottom crust:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
cream sugar and butter together, fold in flour.
grease pan
pat down mixture in the bottom of the pan
bake at 350 F for 12 minutes, watching it until it is golden brown.
Take out and let cool to room temp
Top layer:
Beat 2 eggs (the recipe says by hand, but it works just fine in my stand mixer.) until fluffy
Slowly add in 1 cup of brown sugar
Add a pinch of salt
Stir in 2 level tablespoons of flour and 1/2 tsp of baking powder
Add 3/4 cup of walnuts or pecans
Add in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Make sure it's all stirred up.
Pour over the cooled bottom layer
Put back in 350 F oven, bake for 20 min or so, until it passes the toothpick test.
Let it cool again.
Make frosting out of 4 tbsp butter, icing sugar and condensed milk. Dye it the brightest pink you can. Because family tradition says you have "red" frosted dreamcake and green frosted brownies, because Xmas. No, I don't know why you would frost your brownies. I sure don't.
Anyway, frost your dreamcake with your pink icing, then put some red crystal sprinkles on top. Eat in small pieces to avoid insulin shock.
