Originally published as Lazy Daisy Cake in Taste of Home October/November 1995
But it originally came out in the early to mid 1900s.

Here is a little bit of interesting history that I found on this recipe.
The Lazy Daisy rose in popularity again in the 1950’s during a whirlwind spree of potluck and church event cakes. The  1954 “Improvement Era” journal, Volume 57 (october edition), describes a quick and easy technique that is simple with results that are: “sure and delightful, (texture is superb) which makes it ideal for the busy homemaker who likes to hear compliments from family and friends.”

The earliest version came out in 1911 and was called the Lazy Dazy Cake.
It was the rage in the 1930's and was published in a 1936 University of California "Extension Bulletin".

A date with your family.....a 1950's video can be found here.
