DO NOTHING CAKE
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour ( I have used 1 cup self raising and 1 cup normal flour)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon vanilla
2.5 cups crushed pineapple, undrained
Frosting:
1⁄2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3⁄4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup coconut
1 cup nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
Place first 6 ingredients in a bowl and mix until blended with spoon don’t over mix.
Pour into 13 x 9 inch cake pan. (23 x 33 cm)
Bake at 180°C for 35 – 40 minutes. (fan oven – 170°C) until the centre of the cake is done.
While the cake is still hot, poke it with a skewer to help the frosting soak into the cake.
Pour frosting on top immediately.
For frosting:
Mix butter, sugar and evaporated milk together and cook over medium heat until a little thickened. (This usually takes about 5 minutes at a boil)
Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.
