When a friend brought this Do Nothing cake to church dinner, everyone insisted they get the recipe. So moist and delicious. This is really a cake that does nothing, unless you go back walking across the street to the neighbor to borrow the sugar! very funny! So simple, delicious and moist! Now I have to cut some to take to the neighbors before they’re gone. I love the way the icing penetrates the cake and makes it very moist. I punched holes in the cake so it could be soaked in easily.
