No, the Do Nothing cake does not have to be refrigerated. It can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days covered tightly. However, we do recommend keeping it in the refrigerator because it has sweetened condensed milk in the frosting.

Pig Pickin’ Cake is a popular Southern dessert that gets its name from the traditional “pig pickin'” parties where whole roasted pigs are served. This cake is perfect for those occasions because it’s easy to make and can feed a large crowd.

The key ingredients in this cake are the yellow cake mix, mandarin oranges, and pineapple. The orange flavor comes from the mandarin oranges and gives the cake a unique twist. The pineapple adds sweetness and moistness to the cake.

Do nothing cakes pineapple?

There is some debate over whether or not pineapple belongs in a cake. Some say that it makes the cake too moist, while others believe that it adds an extra layer of flavor. However, there is no definitive answer as to whether or not pineapple does anything for a cake. It really depends on personal preference.

What makes the cake moist and fluffy?

When it comes to making a cake, one of the most important tips is to whisk the butter and sugar together until they are light yellow and fluffy. This process is known as creaming and it helps to incorporate air into the mixture. The more air that is incorporated, the lighter and fluffier the cake will be.

Another key factor in making a moist and fluffy cake is ensuring that all of the ingredients are at room temperature before beginning to mix them together. Room temperature ingredients mix together much more easily than those that are cold, resulting in a smoother batter with fewer lumps.

Once all of the ingredients are combined, be sure not to overmix them. Overmixing can result in a tough or rubbery texture. Just mix until everything is well combined – no need to keep going once everything is incorporated.

What is a tornado cake?

A tornado cake is a moist cake filled with crushed pineapple and topped with a decadent sweet coconut frosting. While I haven’t seen it described as a poke cake (you KNOW I love a poke cake!) I do make it that way, poking holes in the cake before pouring the topping over it so that all that flavor can get soaked up.
