CAJUN CAKE



Cajun Cake image

Yum! This is a warm, gooey, old-fashioned cake everyone will love. Betty comes from the heart of Cajun country where I bet this cake is found on every potluck dessert table. The cake itself is easy to make, spongy, and has bits of pineapple in every bite. The icing is thick, sugary and full of coconut and pecans. It's a tad time...

1/4 lb butter, melted
3/4 c sugar
1 pkg coconut (14 oz.)
1/2 c chopped pecans

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your pound cake. Use unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh buttermilk for the best results.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
