This lazy daisy vintage sponge cake recipe comes together quickly when you want something sweet that doesn't take much effort during the lazy days of summer. With simple pantry staples, this cake bakes up light and tender, with a buttery, sweet, crunchy topping!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 cups skim milk
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 10 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 0.25 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8-inch cake pan.

  2. 2

    Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine milk, 1 tablespoon butter, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; set aside.

  4. 4

    Beat eggs in a bowl with a hand mixer until light yellow; slowly beat in white sugar on high speed. Stir in flour mixture until only a few large lumps of flour remain. Stir in warm milk mixture, continue stirring until smooth; pour into the prepared pan.
