  • 1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions
  1. CAKE: Mix all cake ingredients with a spoon. Pour into oiled 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) pan and bake in 350 F (175 C) oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until center of the cake is done.

  2. While Do Nothing Cake ( Tornado Cake ) is still hot, poke it with a skewer to help frosting soak into cake. Immediately pour frosting over it.
