Do Nothing Tornado Cake!



Flip it!

It is one of those cakes that make you look like a hero! It’s super moist and tastes super rich. I generally cut sugar in cake recipes by half and it still turned out well for all who ate the cake. Though the one small thing that I could taste the baking soda. Wonder if there is a typo? Maybe it’s supposed to be baking powder? All I can say is… This will be my go to cake for company and entertaining at home!

I thought this cake sounded so yummy! I made it according to directions except I cut the sugar. 1 1/2 cups for cake and 3/4 cup for the topping. I think it could be cut to 1/2 for the topping. I think 1 1/4 cups for the cake. The pineapple is in a sweet syrup sort of and my coconut is sweet too.
Delicious cake with a dab of ice cream. LOL!
That looks soooo good! my mouth was watering looking at it & reading ingredience. MMM-MMM
