'DO NOTHING", seems like there is a great deal to do, just in getting the ingredients together. But sounds lovely.

Just made this cake yesterday but only put 1 cup of sugar in the cake instead of 2. Still delicious.

Yummy easy cake. Great awesome job with the video. You have everything measured ready to go...no making your audience wait for you to open packages, mix, stir, etc. Keep up the good work. Youre a rare GEM.

I have made this cake several times, but my recipe totally eliminates the sugar in the cake. Between the pineapple and the glaze, it is plenty sweet. I think this recipe would be way too sweet. To those who think it is too much work, those of us who cook from scratch would agree that this is indeed do nothing.

It’s even easier if you use angel food cake mix and a large can of crushed pineapple that’s all you need have to make the cake. Frosting is optional

That is the recipe for the caramel coconut and nut frosting for a German chocolate cake. I used to make it from scratch with those same ingredients and nowadays it can be purchased as a can of frosting. It is remarkably good when purchased already made as well.

Thanks for the recipe👍

My great grandmother made this with fruit cocktail and cinnamon. The bomb. You can use canned cherries, too. Damn good. Better after it sits.

Go easy on the sugar. In fact I totally opt out the initial 2 cups of sugar cos already sweet syrup from the pineapple. Also only add half cup sugar to butter for the toppings. That would balance the sweetness. Can enjoy without too much guilt.

This turned out without any sugar in the cake part? I was wondering if the pineapple sweetened it enough already.

My grandmother used to make that cake. I am not sure if she put 3 cups sugar because hers was not especially sweet. But it is a fabulous cake! One of my very favorite!!!

When you make this same German chocolate cake frosting for this cake it should thicken up a little bit but not as thick as if it were frosting that just sat on top. It's a non German chocolate German chocolate cake.

Besides cutting way back on the sugar you can also use pineapple in its own juice and unsweetened coconut. I’m confused about why this cake is called Do nothing tornado cake. Especially the tornado part. I would just call it pineapple poke cake. Poke cakes were very popular back in the 70s and to me that’s what this.

Could we reduce the sugar?

I found a recipe with a half teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice that lifted the flavour of the whole cake!

That looks good! I use to make a cake for the summer it was just yellow cake then poked holes with a fork, mixed sugar free jello any flavor (usually the cherry or strawberry type ones were best) like you would normally make jello and instead of putting in the fridge you pour it on the cake after the cake has cooled and then once it has cooled put cool whip on top. low cal, light cake for the summer

Easier to just use yellow cake mixed with pineapples. THEN just do the recipe like you said. That way you aren't having to use all those extra ingredients for the cake mixture part...that's why it's called a Do nothing cake bc you're only making the topping!

Or make your own vanilla extract with two vanilla beans and a bottle of inexpensive vodka. Put the vanilla beans in the vodka bottle and store it in a cool, dark place like a cupboard for about six weeks, and you'll have a fifth of very good vanilla extract with no additives.
