This is perfect for my small family. Simple and looks delicious! We had seven in my family growing up so my Mother cooked huge quantities. I remember watching her cook and I know most of her recipes, but they're all for a large family. I have to cut them down but I've mastered most of them. We never had this little cake so I'm excited to give it a try. Thank you!
Can't wait to make this cake . I am 'old school' lady - this will be for my husband and myself with a cup of coffee . The kids have been raised some time ago .
We're probably born in the same generation! I love this simple cake and it brings back so many memories. I think you and your husband will love it. TFW God Bless, Linda
Thank you!!! My mother made this cake also and I've been searching for the recipe for a long time. I've found close-enough ones but I believe this is it! We called it "Lazy Daisy" cake, not sure where that came from, but it is a fond memory. Thank you again, I'll be making it soon.
Thanks for the memory. We had this cake often when I was growing up, but like you, I haven't made it for years. It was definitely a family favorite. I'm getting the ingredients next time I go to the store!
I love this simple cake and it's so tender, moist and delicious. The topping just puts it over the top...so glad I could bring this memory back to you! TFW God Bless, Linda
That does sound good! Of course I don't have Bisquick on hand! I do want to try it. I do want to make this, i like I can bake this in my toaster oven. Thumbs up. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too
Love the memories. I have memories of my momma's cooking. Nothing takes you back like the smells and taste of the past. Momma made a black walnut cake that was the best ever. She didn't follow any recipes, she just tasted as she went until it tasted right to suit her. Been missing my momma alot today and this video has made me smile. Thanks.
Hi Thea, It's so close to Mothers Day I'm sure that's what threw my memory towards this cake. I miss my mom every day so I know how you feel. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I keep finding all these wonderful recipes of yours and this is just what I was looking for. A simple cake for our afternoon coffee break! Linda I have decided you need to make a cookbook! You make such a nice variety of foods, kitchen tips and how-to videos. I'm old and I still have learned from you! Thank you! Is there anything Sam has not liked? I bet there isn't!
Marie, you are so kind and I'm so happy you've enjoyed my channel. I've thought about writing a cookbook but I've heard from the "grapevine" it's very time consuming and difficult. I just don't know if I can do it. Thank you for all your wonderful comments and your loyalty. Linda
The funniest m-day card ever read... Front has a pick of frosting covered beaters: inside says: mom? Thanks for being so nice and let us lick the beaters.... Ya open it and it says: And sometimes you even turned off the mixer!! Happy Mother s Day!
New sub! This cake is making my mouth water! I'm gonna make this with pineapple. Thank you for sharing your family recipe. I have a lot of different family recipes that I have locked in my safe, lol. It is so hard for me to give out our secret recipes! Lol! But, ya can't take them with ya when you go, might as well share them so that they live on forever with future generations. Thank you.
This one was so exciting for me to hear you talk about your mother. I never saved any recipes from my mother or grandmother who raised me. But they are in my memories and that is all I have left of them. Thank you for sharing this cake which I Will be making.
What a great memory, I had some great memories also, One of my favorites was my Gram's Popcorn Ball's. I loved Oatmeal & Raisin Cookies. I made 2-3 times a week a Pound Cake with Orange Juice in it for our boys. To this day it is their favorite, they also loved my Peanut Butter Cookies and Sugar Cookies. Thanks Linda.
Mother made an everyday / after school cake which she called a Plain Cake. Simple without icing. Linda, I've got to see if I can find it. Oh, I can taste it right now. Love you, girl.. Blessings, Jo Ann
That childhood cake looks delicious!! I want to say I have dark baking sheets and they don't look good but those are just well seasoned pans,nothen wrong with them....lol
I feel the same way but many don't understand what a difference it makes to use a dark pan and I've tried so hard to make it that way!! TFW God Bless, Linda
This is such an easy and wonderful tasting cake. It brings back such childhood memories. I love this cake Crystal and I know you will too. God Bless, Linda
Wow that cake looks fabulous! I love the old style cake recipes. If you have more please share them. Was there a specific name for this cake at all? Also, we can't just buy bisquick off the shelves here, I'd have to order it online, but it can make my own, and same with the shortening. Can you sub butter instead?
Hi FitAnge, I don't know how it would turn out using butter. I went directly by the recipe but you can try it and see how it turns out. I'm sure the butter is better for you. The inside of the cake is velvety smooth and moist and the crunch in the topping is just the right touch. I'm not 100% sure but I think this recipe was on the back of the box of Bisquick at one time. It may still be for all I know. The cake on the Bisquick box was called Velvet Crumb Cake. I believe I can find a recipe for making your own Bisquick. If I find it, I'll send you a copy. PM me your email address. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Thanks Hun I appreciate the response. It's probably on the bisquick website still so knows. I have a sub for bisquick Hun thanks for offering to email it to me. I have been meaning to make it anyway. I would probably try butter instead if shortening cause for one it's hard to get here and yow I don't like it lol. It looks fantastic and I love the topping yum
your welcome. I have 2 old cake recipes on my channel already...the plumb cake is one and the other is Archy Hilda's Brown Sugar Cake...they are both excellent. I have more to come.. They don't sell lard or shortening in Australia? That's been here so long it's hard to believe it's not there....
They do but it's called copha and it stays in the fridge, you can't use it at room temperature as it's hard like a brick and it's transparent in color. Basically the same thing not like the crisco in a can though. Yes I love that brown sugar cake and I'll be making that one for sure. Can't wait to see more old style recipes I'm fascinated in the oldern style cooking and baking. And your welcome for the support :)
Hello sbmal, I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe and will create memories of your own for your children or grands! Thanks for watching and the nice comment.
@@Mr.56Goldtop Must be Dollar Tree is closer...I don't know if they'll carry the brand name but they MAY have a store brand..this is so simple to be such a good cake.
@@Handsthatcook No it's not closer, it's down in in Stroudsburg, 9 miles away. But I seem to end up there a lot lol! If I'm in the supermarket before that I'll check it out. I'd hate to buy a big box of Bisquick and use it only once or twice. Hopefully they make a smaller box too.
What a lovely tribute to your mom. It looks so good. You pump out so many pies and cakes. I've made the Marie Antoinette cake several times now. Your pecan pie once, and a cake that I never got to try, but everyone loved it. Ill probably make the crack cake next.
Looks great! When I was in high school I used to make a cake similar to this but in a spring form pan. I don't know what happened to the recipe but it called for crushed pineapple instead of the coconut. What was so good is that the juices from the pineapple would seep into the cake when you broiled it.
I know you're post is old, but I was wondering if we could make the cake with this exact recipe, and sub the coconut with pineapple? I love baking with pineapple. I have a really old family recipe for pineapple cookies. I make hundreds of them around the holiday. People always request then.
@@Handsthatcook Aw, thanks. England...I've seen it on Amazon, ranging from $10+ all the way up to $100. I don't know if it's like a pancake mix...I may try that as I have some from Costco 😍 x
Linda I love this video! You sounded melancholy while talking about your mom. By time you were done making the cake, I was feeling kind of sad myself because I miss my mom so much. Thank you for reminding me that there is a way to bring back happy memories..
+Marie Pettis Thank you Marie Isn't it odd that sometimes the smallest things stay in the biggest part of our hearts? Thank you for watching and commenting on this video.......Linda
Thanks for the memories. Did your Mom leave you or your siblings with recipes or cookbooks etc. I just found some handwritten recipes from my Mother and truly cherish them. I am trying this cake it looks so good.
Hey Tammy, I had some of my moms cookbooks but they were stolen when left in a home I was selling. I do have a lot of recipes she clipped from magazines and newspapers (I'll have to find them) Thanks for watching!!
I made this cake absolutely delish that prasrycutter cost about 8 or 9 dollars not toocheap too me cake is great although i messed up the icing therefore i gotta doit again did cake right icing did not do right she is right cake is great you say u r an old chick but you r a great cook gotta more of herrecipes i notice she is a lefty she writes left handed still agood cook i am done
Hi Allan, I hope you'll try this. It's such a good simple cake. I enjoy telling stories sometimes & glad to know it doesn't bore you. Thanks for watching and for your support!
This looks so good! It would be nice to start a tradition with it like your mother did. ❤️ Hope you are doing well and I look forward to more great dishes you make in the future. 💕Katelyn
Hi Katelyn It's nice to remember and have good memories of my mother's cooking. This cake has special memories for me & you're right, everyone should build memories with their children. TFW and commenting!! God Bless, Linda
Supporting my friends...this recipe looks soooo good and easy. I love and enjoy cakes with memory they just taste sooo much better.you jad me lol...i do the same thing with my son..i leave very little and he gets annoyed..that i don't leave much. Wow who would have though bisquick could bake such a wonderful cake. I reminds me od lazydazy cake. Thank u will keep thia and make for sure.
Love you Linda, you must be like your moma you do some good cooking Vidios, Isay Thanks so much, Blessings from my house to your house, Love ya Linda Wendy from:Kentucky🙏👍❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤
are you asking me if this recipe is still on the box of original bisquick....I don't know, it could be. My sister gave me the recipe she had gotten from my mother. If you'll just click on where it says SHOW MORE and scroll a little, the full recipe will be there for you. TFW Robert God Bless, Linda
Isn't Bisquick just selfrising flour with Crisco or lard cut into it? Just like for buttermilk biscuits, but without the buttermilk? More than likely Bisquick has a lot of things in it I don't really want to eat. 😝 LOL!
There are quite a few recipes on how to make homemade bisquick...I don't know what's in it but I use it so seldom I don't mind using it now and then. The homemade version has no additives Ted, if you want to make some.
Thank you for sharing! It looks wonderful, I will definitely make this! My son is grown up and out of the house but I still make him lots of goodies, I know he will love this!
I haven't made this cake since the 1960's. I'd kind of forgotten about how wonderful it is.. Thank you for posting this recipe, I could almost taste it!
We miss our parents but their love never leaves us. Food is such a powerful connection to our past.
So true...and I miss them everyday. TFW God Bless
Love your sweet story. Will be trying this one out.
Well Linda, I will be making this cake for sure! It looks delicious 😋
Cake looks so yummy!
Looks delicious !
This is perfect for my small family. Simple and looks delicious! We had seven in my family growing up so my Mother cooked huge quantities. I remember watching her cook and I know most of her recipes, but they're all for a large family. I have to cut them down but I've mastered most of them. We never had this little cake so I'm excited to give it a try. Thank you!
I have chickens and when they are laying eggs it makes recipes so much better.
Can't wait to make this cake . I am 'old school' lady - this will be for my husband and myself with a cup of coffee .
The kids have been raised some time ago .
We're probably born in the same generation! I love this simple cake and it brings back so many memories. I think you and your husband will love it. TFW God Bless, Linda
Thank you!!! My mother made this cake also and I've been searching for the recipe for a long time.
I've found close-enough ones but I believe this is it! We called it "Lazy Daisy" cake, not sure where that
came from, but it is a fond memory. Thank you again, I'll be making it soon.
You're welcome Micheline! Enjoy the cake!!! God Bless, Linda

I wish I had some shredded coconut! Is that sweet or unsweet coconut?
You could always drive down the mountain to the store, right??
It really doesn't matter.....I don't remember but I'd use sweetened.
@@Handsthatcook Lol! Yes, I could! I dont generally stock Bisquick though, I'll have to check the Dollar Tree to see if they have it in stock.
