One day, my sisters and I were pretty bored. In our family, boredom leads to hunger (is that just us?!). We wanted something yummy to eat, but truthfully there was nothing. We were excited to try something new but didn’t just want a new chocolate cake recipe. We wanted something really new. Something different. Something we had never heard of. That is when, after lots of Pinterest searching, we found the “do nothing cake.” It is literally just that. A cake that looks wondrous but doesn’t consist of much work at all! This cake was fun to make and even more fun to enjoy!

What in the world is this cake? I don’t even know how to explain it to you because it’s name is so ambiguous. It is light and airy and fluffy and yet creamy and moist. You barely have to prep it or do anything to get it to achieve that perfect cake consistency. Yet at the end, you have an elaborate, beautiful cake full of flavor and it makes you look like an awesome baker. Just don’t go telling anyone about the “do nothing” part in it and you will be deemed the next great baker in America!

Ingredients
CAKE

• 2 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Camulet baking soda
• 2 cups Domino sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp McCormick vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups crushed Dole pineapple 20 oz

FROSTING:

• 1 stick Land O’ Lakes butter
• 3/4 cup Carnation evaporated milk
• 1 cup Domino sugar
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 1 cup coconut shredded

Instructions
CAKE: Mix all cake ingredients with a spoon. Pour into oiled 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) pan and bake in 350 F (175 C) oven for 30 – 40 minutes or until center of the cake is done.
While cake is still hot, poke it with a skewer to help frosting soak into cake. Immediately pour frosting over it.
FROSTING: Cook butter, evaporated milk and sugar until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add nuts and coconut.
