(Also called 1-1-1 Cake)
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar

- Pour melted butter into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Add fruit evenly over the butter (juice included).
- Sprinkle sugar evenly over fruit.
- Sprinkle flour evenly on top — do not stir.
- Pour milk evenly over everything — still don’t stir.
- Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly — it thickens as it sets.
✨ How It Turns Out
- Bottom: jammy, syrupy fruit

1 cup flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt) - Resist stirring — the magic happens in layers
- Even better warm 😍
