Irresistible Do Nothing Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

For the Icing:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple with its juice. Stir until well combined.
3. If using, fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it boil for 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut.
8. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the warm icing over the hot cake, spreading it out evenly.
9. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
