Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; stir until smooth.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
• While brownies bake, prepare frosting: In a saucepan, combine egg yolks, butter, evaporated milk, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
• Remove saucepan from heat; stir in shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Let cool slightly.
• Spread frosting evenly over warm brownies. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
