Do Nothing Cake
Cake :
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 large can (20 Oz) crushed pineapple with juice
Frosting :
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 can (5½ ounce) evaporated milk
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, Whisk together all the batter ingredients until just combined.
- Pour into a greased 13×9 baking dish, and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick, inserted in the middle comes out clean. Don't overbake.
- While cake is still baking, prepare the frosting.
- Heat the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a small saucepan until boiling.
- Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and add in the coconut and pecans.
- Remove the cake from oven, and using a kabob skewer or wooden spoon handle, or some similary-sized object, begin poking holes in the cake.
- You need holes so that hot frosting has plenty of room to get down and soak the cake.
- Pour frosting over the hot cake, spreading it out to make sure it’s all evenly dispersed.
- Allow cake to cool for a bit before cutting.
- Due to the frosting seeping into the cake, it is very moist!
- Enjoy
