Lazy Daisy Cake

Lazy Daisy Cake

My Grandmother’s recipe (on my dad’s side) was a favourite for me growing up and is now one of my son’s favourites!

Cake

  • 1 c flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs (*see note for vegan substitution)
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 2 tbsp butter

Topping

  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 1 c coconut (shredded)

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F – grease and flour an 8×8 baking pan
  2. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  3. Beat eggs and sugar together until light; stir in dry ingredients.
  4. Heat milk to boiling; add butter. Add this to first mixture.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30 minutes.

Topping:

  1. Boil topping ingredients 2 minutes.
  2. Unless you really want to remove it, leave cake in pan and poke holes with the handle of a wooden spoon. Spread hot topping onto hot cake.
  3. Broil 3-5 minutes until topping bubbles, if desired.
