I have had this recipe for a very long time. It is just written on a small piece of paper so who knows where I got the recipe from!!

I love this Lazy Dazy Cake. Sweet with a dense texture this vanilla cake & its crispy coconut topping is delicious. You can have a coconut cake without much fuss, no icing to mix, no layers, just a simple no-fuss cake.

Snacking Cakes used to be a very popular years ago. The size & ease of these type of cakes were a big selling point for boxed cake mixes. That is what this cake recipe reminds me of. Mixed by hand & baked in an 8 x 8, baked for 30 minutes this cake is a sure to become a favourite of yours as it is mine!
