When I was a child mom would fix a pineapple upside down cake for a last minute "Ups! I forgot to fix a dessert for supper " dessert. She could have it in the oven in 5 minutes. My all time favorite, usually fixed for birthdays only was a white 3 layer Baltimore cake layered with fresh Banana slices and vanilla butter creme icing, iced on the outside with 7 minute icing and covered with fresh grated coconut. The difference in the taste between already grated coconut and freshly grated coconut is like the difference between hamburger steak and porterhouse steak! So much trouble but so worth it. And I love homemade divinity and fudge candy.
