Description
Do Nothing Cake is a moist and delicious dessert that combines pineapple and a creamy frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 20 oz canned crushed pineapple, with juices
- cooking spray
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, room temp
- 2 Tbsp chopped pecans
Instructions
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toast unsweetened shredded coconut in a 350 degree oven for 4 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Add sugar, flour, eggs, baking soda, vanilla, and crushed undrained pineapple to a large bowl and mix with a spoon.
- Spread into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
- Remove cake from oven when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool on the counter.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, combine room temperature butter and sweetened condensed milk. Whip with a hand mixer on medium speed for at least 8 minutes or until creamy and smooth.
- Spread the frosting on the cake. It’s fine if the cake is not fully cooled before frosting.
- Top with the toasted coconut and then add chopped pecans.
- Enjoy your cake cold or warm!
Notes
- Need a thrifty substitute for eggs when baking? ¼ cup chickpea brine = 1 egg
