Lazy Daisy Cake (using a Hand-mixer)
Ingredients
Cake
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
½ cup milk
1 Tablespoon butter
Topping
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 TBSP of brown sugar
2 TBSP of cream
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
TO MAKE THE CAKE
Beat 2 eggs well, add 1 cup of sugar using your hand mixer in a medium-size bowl
Beat until thick and the egg-sugar mixture are much lighter in colour, about 10 mins
Add vanilla
In a separate bowl Sift 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder and a dash of salt
Heat ½ cup milk and 1 TBSP of butter for approx. 1 min in the microwave, just to warm
Alternate flour and milk mixture into the egg mixture to mix well by hand to combine
Bake for 350 in a 9” x 9” pan or 8” round for 30 mins (test for doneness before removing).
Let cool, remove the parchment from the bottom of the cake then put the cake back in the same pan. Move on to the topping
CAKE TIP ☺ I like to line the pan bottom with parchment and butter the sides so once baked so you can easily remove the cake. The topping goes on top in the same pan so baking with the lining and removing before you add the topping ensures you can remove the cake easily for serving.
TO MAKE THE TOPPING
While the cake is baking make the topping on the stovetop in a small/med pot.
Melt 3 TBSP of salted butter
3 TBSP of brown sugar
2 TBSP of cream
Bring to a boil for 1 min
Add 1 ½ cups shredded coconut and combine to mix
Pour the topping on top of the cake and place in a 350 oven until topping is brown for a few mins, keep a watchful eye as it burns easily
TOPPING TIPS:
If you use sweetened coconut, your topping will be a bit gooier, if you use unsweetened coconut the topping a bit more dry. I like it gooier but your choice. You want the topping to be thick but spreadable so add more butter and brown sugar if you need to (you can’t mess up this recipe!)
This recipe doubles and even triples nicely.
