LAZY DAY CAKE:
NOTE: This recipe goes back as far as I can remember growing up, it was “from scratch” cake mix long before boxed mixes became available on the market.
It is such a basic recipe that can be the basis to use so many additives of fruits and flavours. This one uses vanilla bean extract, I personally have used orange extract and it was so delightful! Lemon extract brought it to a new level too! My husband’s favourite is to add 1 cup of dry fruit into the mix...
Hope you ‘all enjoy!!!
