DO NOTHING CAKE

 


Having prepared the recipe in person, we have to say that it hardly falls into the "do nothing" category!  According to blogger, Dan of Cakes Cottage, it's an old country - Southern family cake. He cares about this cake and says it's full of flavour! So before you get too excited, there is a little work to do to make this cake.

However it is very easy. It's as easy as making a cake box, Dan says, so if you can make one of these, you'll be fine with this! We love old-fashioned cupcakes and if you can save 10 minutes, this recipe is for you.

° 2 cups flour
° 2 cups of sugar
