Texas Tornado Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
For the Topping:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in eggs and crushed pineapple (with juice) until just combined. Fold in pecans and coconut. Pour batter into the prepared dish.
Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the Topping: While the cake bakes, combine butter, evaporated milk, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, pecans, and coconut.
Finish the Cake: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and use a fork to poke holes across the surface. Pour the topping evenly over the warm cake. Let it cool slightly before serving.
How a Perfect Home Enhances Every Sweet Moment
Baking a Texas Tornado Cake is more than just making dessert; it’s about creating moments and memories with the people you love. A spacious, well-equipped kitchen can be the heart of these experiences. Imagine a sunny kitchen island where kids can help measure ingredients or a cozy dining room where your family can gather to enjoy the results.
Real Estate Tip: If you’re looking to sell, showcasing a functional and inviting kitchen can leave a lasting impression on buyers. Add subtle staging touches like fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit, or even a freshly baked cake to create an irresistible atmosphere.
