Do Nothing Cake
Cultural Context
Originating in the United States, Do Nothing Cake is a nostalgic dessert that emphasizes simplicity and ease of preparation. It became popular for its minimal effort and delightful taste, making it a favorite for potlucks and family gatherings. Today, variations abound, with many adding personal touches like fruit or different frostings.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
Beat 2 eggs in a separate bowl and then add to the flour.
Add 1 large can of crushed pineapple with juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to the bowl.
Stir all ingredients together until mixed well.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
While the cake is baking, prepare the icing by combining 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of evaporated milk, and 1 cup of sugar in a pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Once the cake is done, test it with a cake tester to ensure it comes out clean.
Remove the icing from the heat and add 1 cup of chopped pecans and 1 cup of shredded coconut, stirring to combine.
Pour the icing over the hot cake and spread it out with a spoon.
Let the cake cool completely before serving.
Cut a piece of the cooled cake to serve.
