Lazy Dazy Cake

With Kav

This easy-peasy recipe lives up to its name – Lazy Dazy Cake. You can make it in a flash and enjoy it at your leisure (like when you need a break from SpeedBo.) This is a moist, dense cake – travels well so it’s great to bring to a church function or a picnic. You can double, triple etc. the recipe and it will still turn out. And you can make it into cupcakes too. Yum. Or cut into bars and freeze individual servings for a quick snack.

Here’s the recipe:

½ cup milk

2 tbsp butter

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt (I never use this)

Heat milk and butter to boiling point. While that’s heating up, beat eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add sugar, flour, baking powder and (salt).

Add heated milk and butter.

The batter will be quite runny – like this. Pour into a greased and floured baking pan (9x9 square is what I used) or you can just line the pan with parchment paper which is what I did. Now it’s time for the topping.

1 tsp vanilla

6 tsp melted butter

1 cup coconut

8 teaspoons sugar (brown is best for colour but I only had white so that’s what I used)

3 tsp milk

Mix all together and then drizzle the mixture on top of the batter like this:

Cook at 350 until Simba tells you it’s done. If you don’t have a Simba (and he’s one of a kind) then you’ll need to use a timer but I don’t have one so I’m guessing 30 minutes? The top will be golden brown and a fork will come out clean. My cake is a little pale because I used white sugar, but it’s still yummy!
