Lazy Daisy Cake

This is an oldie goldie, that you would probably find in your grandmothers cookbook, but we still love it at our house. If you omit the topping (which I think is the best part) you can use it as a shortcake.

Lazy Daisy Cake

2 large eggs
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 Tbsp. margarine

Beat eggs till frothy, add sugar 2 Tbsp. at a time while beating, until thickened. Add vanilla and beat well. In a separate bowl combine flour baking soda and salt, stir into egg mixture. Heat milk and margarine in a saucepan (I also use the microwave, so not patient some days :) ) until margarine is melted. Add to flour mixture. Stir well. Pour into greased 9 x 9 pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Coconut Topping
3 Tbsp. margarine
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 c. flaked coconut

Bring first 3 ingredients to a rolling boil (once again either in a saucepan or in the microwave), stirring occasionally. Add coconut and spread evenly over hot cake. Return to oven and bake about 3 more minutes until top is bubbly. Original recipe says to let cool on wire rake but we like it best warm.
