Let’s be honest—there are days when the last thing I want to do is babysit a cake in the oven. That’s when this Do Nothing Tornado Cake swoops in and saves dessert. It’s the kind of simple treat you throw together with pantry basics, and yet somehow, it ends up tasting like you’ve been whisking and folding for hours. The texture is soft and gooey, and the topping? Oh, that brown sugar coconut pecan topping is next-level comfort. This cake checks all the boxes. It’s warm, it’s sticky, it’s got just the right amount of chew. I first baked it after finding a scribbled note from my aunt that simply said, 'dump and bake—trust me.' So I did, and I’ve never looked back. Whether you’re feeding a crowd, battling a sugar craving, or just want something that feels like a hug in cake form, this recipe is the one. From weeknight indulgence to last-minute potluck hero, it delivers without any of the usual baking fuss.
