DO NOTHING CAKE

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups cakeflour ( I have used 1 cup self raising and 1 cup normal flour)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 2.5 cups crushed pineapple, undrained
  • Frosting:
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup nuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Place first 6 ingredients in a bowl and mix until blended with spoon, don’t over mix.
Pour into 13 x 9 inch cake pan. (23 x 33 cm)
Bake at 180°C 35 – 40 minutes. (fan oven – 170 ºC) until the centre of the cake is done.
While the cake is still hot, poke it with a skewer to help the frosting soak into the cake.
Pour frosting on top immediately.

For frosting:
Mix butter, sugar and evaporated milk together and cook over medium heat until a little thickened. (This usually takes about 5 minutes at a boil).
Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.
