Tornado Cake

By

Making this tornado cake is a pretty simple affair. There’s no batter or cake sponge to make. You only need to mix eggs, fruit cocktail, baking soda and flour together, top it with chopped nuts and then bake it. The icing is also pretty simple – you only need to boil shredded coconut with cream, milk and sugar. This amazingly simple cake recipe is from Teresa of Can’t Stay Out of the Kitchen
