Restless Knitter

Because any picture I would show you of current knitting (baby sweater, start of next poinsettia square, finished washcloth) would be boring, I’m instead going to pass along an easy recipe that was given to me a long time ago. Which was given to the giver even longer ago. I have no idea where it originated so if you recognize it, let me know

Fruit Pudding Cake

1 Cup sugar
1 Cup flour
3/4 Cup milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 stick oleo/margarine/butter
1 can fruit of your choice
Melt oleo in pan. Mix sugar, flour, baking powder, and milk. Pour over melted butter. Add fruit on top of that. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min

It looks like a huge mess when you put it in the oven. Butter that’s come up over the cake batter, fruit sinking in, so don’t worry that you did it wrong. I used a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks, but you can use whatever you’re in the mood for. As for the size of the can, that depends on how much fruit you want in there. The 20 oz was almost too much but it was what I had so I went with it. There’s no pan size stated but I seem to remember it’s a 9 x 12 (12.5? 13?) , which is what I used. I used a disposable one because I’m lazy and I hate washing dishes. I baked ours for 35 minutes, it just depends on your oven. It’s not a fluffy cake like you bake from the box. I don’t know how to describe it really. If you really want to know, you’ll just have to make one.
