let them eat cake

Chocolate and cake are the best of comfort foods....And anything you ate as a child. So here is cake that I ate as a child. So yummy and moist and easy. I don't think I have ever posted a recipe for anything on the blog. That says something. I craft. I don't cook. But this cake is awesome and even I can't screw it up....too easily at least.

Lazy Daisy Cake

• 4 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour (we used whole wheat flour here as it was what I had on hand)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp butter

*Preheat the oven to 350 F. degrees.

- Put the milk and butter in a small saucer pan on the stove to warm.

- Beat eggs.

- Stir in sugar and vanilla to the beaten eggs.

- Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.

- Stir in the warmed milk and butter from the stove.

- Pour into a greased 9x11 cake pan and bake for 30 minutes.

While the cake is baking, make the topping...

• 6 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (very packed)
• 1 cup coconut

- Put ingredients into the small saucepan and warm until the butter is melted and mixed with the coconut and brown sugar.

- When the cake is done, pat the topping on and put the cake back in the oven for a few minutes to brown the coconut yumminess.

So good!!!!!!!
