Lazy Daisy Cake

This is a cake my family grew up eating. I don’t make it very often because it is so hard not to eat a whole row at a time!

Pour four eggs into a large mixing bowl.

My assistant adds 2 cups of sugar

And 2 teaspoons of vanilla

Now this needs to beat until it thickens, which takes 4-5 minutes.

In a seperate bowl, pour in 2 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

And 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Combine these ingredients.

And add them to the egg mixture. Beat just until flour is moistened.

Put 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup butter into a saucepan and heat to boiling.

Add to your batter and beat until well combined.

Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan. I like to use the spray stuff, especially for the stoneware pans.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

Now for the ooey gooey stuff:

In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup half & half

2 cups flaked coconut

Mix this all together

And spread it on your still warm cake. Make sure it has cooled down enough or else it will all run to the sides.

This is the part where you don’t want to turn your back. Place under the oven broiler and broil until lightly browned. This only takes a few minutes but if you forget to watch it, the smoke will start rolling out. It burns really easy!

A moist cake with chewy crunchy frosting. Now come and help us eat it up!

CARAMEL CAKE

Hannah was in a baking mood so as long as I had a loaf of frozen bread dough already thawed out, we made Caramel Cake. First take a loaf of frozen dough and allow it to thaw but not rise. Cut it in half lengthwise and then again crosswise and one more time lengthwise. Did that confuse you? It did me. An electric knife works best for this.


Next, take a bundt cake pan and spray with cooking spray. I think there was a little extra sprayed in the pan because it was pooled up in the bottom. Oh well, whats next Grandma?
Mix together 3/4 cup of sugar and a Tablespoon of cinnamon.
Now comes the fun part. Roll each piece of dough in the sugar mixture and place in bundt pan.



This step takes intense concentration. Notice the tongue helping out.

After the dough is all in the pan, pour the remaining sugar/cinnamon over the top.

Now the dough needs to "rest" so we cover it with a towel. Let dough raise until doubled.

Pour one cup of brown sugar over raised dough.

Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over brown sugar. Boy this is gettin good.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. It is very carmelly and good hot. Hannah had chocolate ice cream with hers. Good Stuff.
