Recipe Information
Do-Nothing Cake
Cultural Context
Do-Nothing Cake, a delightful American dessert, is known for its simplicity and rich chocolate flavor. Originating during the mid-20th century, it became a popular choice for busy bakers who appreciated its minimal effort and maximum taste. This cake's name reflects its easy preparation, making it a go-to for potlucks and family gatherings. Today, variations abound, with many adding different toppings or fillings to suit personal preferences.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a 9 by 13 inch baking pan by greasing it well with butter, non-stick cooking spray, or vegetable oil. Optionally, lightly flour the pan after greasing to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of self-rising flour, 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, the entire can of crushed pineapple with juice, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
Mix all the ingredients together using a whisk or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy and not smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared 9 by 13 inch pan and spread it out evenly, reaching all corners.
Tap the pan on the counter to release any large air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, checking around the 35 minute mark. The cake is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving, or let it cool completely. It can be served plain, with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
