My Gram used to make this buttery lazy Daisy cake. It was a favorite of ours as children, and we still enjoy it today. I have Gram’s recipe. You can find other versions of this cake on the site under different names, but Gram calls it this…I love the coconut topping…Yum! We hope you enjoy the cake as much as us…
