Saturday Sweetly

In today's Saturday Sweetly, we will be making a do-nothing cake. This is a pineapple-flavored cake with a salty/sweet nut topping.

So, as always, the first step is to preheat your oven, this time to 350ºF. These are the ingredients for
the cake itself:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 20 ounce can of crushed pineapples, undrained

Now, this part is really hard. Pay very close attention. You have to put all the ingredients in a large bowl, and stir until combined. Sounds hard right? Just kidding. This is a very easy cake recipe.

Here is a pic of all the ingredients in one bowl.

Once everything is combined, pour it into a well greased 9x13 pan and pop it in the oven for 30-35 minutes.

 Now, onto the topping. You will need:

• 1 stick margarine (or butter)
• 1 cup nut (your choice) chopped or crushed
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup coconut
• 4 ounces heavy whipping cream

When the cake has ten minutes left to bake, put all the ingredients for the topping into the pot and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes.  This will need stirred frequently to help it melt and break up chunks. When the cake is out of the oven, pour the topping onto the cake (while the cake is still hot) and spread it out to cover the cake.
