4 tablespoons butter
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk

How to make Lazy Daisy Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Ready a 13 x 9-inch pan. Grease and set aside.
Step 2: Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3: Heat the butter and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted. Then, add the vanilla.
Step 4: Beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer at medium-high speed for about 6 minutes until pale and creamy. Fold this into the flour mixture using a rubber spatula.
Step 5: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Place into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven when done and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
Step 6: To make the topping, whisk the butter, brown sugar, and evaporated milk in a medium bowl. On top of the cake, evenly sprinkle the topping. Place in the broiler for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the topping bubbles and starts to brown.
Step 7: Serve the cake warm. Enjoy!
