DO NOTHING CAKE

DO NOTHING CAKE

Ingredients

Cake :

• two cups all-purpose flour
• two cups granulated sugar
• two eggs, slightly beaten
• one tsp vanilla
• one tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 large can (twenty  Oz) crushed pineapple with juice

Frosting :

• 1 stick (half cup) butter
• one cup of sugar
• one can (5½ ounce) evaporated milk
• one cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• one cup shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to three hundred fifty  degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together all the batter ingredients until just combined.
3. Pour into a greased 13×9 baking dish, and bake for thirty to forty  minutes or until a wooden toothpick, inserted in the middle comes out clean. Don’t overbake.
5. While the cake is still baking, prepare the frosting.
6. Heat the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a small saucepan until boiling.
7. Cook and stir for about five minutes, or until slightly thickened.
8. Remove from heat and add in the coconut and pecans.
9. Remove the cake from the oven, and using a kabob skewer or wooden spoon handle, or some similarly-sized object, begin poking holes in the cake.
10. You need holes so that hot frosting has plenty of room to get down and soak the cake.
11. Pour frosting over the hot cake, spreading it out to make sure it’s all evenly dispersed.
12. Allow cake to cool for a bit before cutting.
13. Due to the frosting seeping into the cake, it is very moist!

Enjoy!!
