Thank you so much for including captions with measurements, ingredients, and oven temperature and time. Very helpful to the closed caption readers.
Thanks for watching. We do that on some videos but most of them we put the recipe and instructions into the description of the videos. A lot of people like to write it down or print it out. Is the recipe in the description ok for you?
Have a Happy Thanksgiving,
Marie and Calvin
@@SouthernCountryLiving hello
@@SouthernCountryLiving the
@@SouthernCountryLiving I always think it’s easier when the recipe is included in the notes like this one. This way I can screenshot it and save it that way. This cake looks delicious!
@@SouthernCountryLiving, how long do you let the cake soak up the topping?
When I was a little girl (way back in the 50’s) whenever my mother was baking a cake but got stuck on a phone call, she tell me to break a straw off the broom and test the cake. Yes, I know, the broom. No one thought twice about that then.
Thanks for watching. That was common back then. I remember the same thing when I was little.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's,
Marie and Calvin
I remember that lol
Sounds reasonable to me but hey... I was born n the 50s too lol
We did the same thing. But of course we used the part of the straw up at the top ! That was cleaner! 🙂
@@lsmccanless
We always turned the straw upside down.
Awe, Not only does the cake look delicious, we also get a gentle lady with such a sweet disposition. We need more ladies like you in this world Marie. And Calvin, thank you for being a wonderful gentleman that shows such precious appreciation for your wife. Again, we need more people like you two. You two made my whole day, I loved the video very much indeed
Thanks very much Amy, your words are very kind. Comments like yours is what keeps us making more videos. We really appreciate you watching our videos.
Have a great week,
Calvin and Marie

@@SouthernCountryLiving ❤🎉😅
I’m making this right now! You my are a very sweet LADY! We need more like you,I’m subscribing and will watch for more. I’m 71 and lost this recipe,so is nice to see GOD BLESS YOU BOTH
Mir hat nicht nur der köstliche Kuchen, die sympathische Hausfrau sondern auch Ihr freundlicher Kommentar sehr gefallen! Also 2 x❤=❤❤
My grandmother used to make this and its one of my all time favorite cakes. She called it Pineapple Coconut cake and I have looked through all her recipes and couldn't find it. Now I know why, its called a Tornado Cake! Thank you!
Thanks very much for watching,
Marie and Calvin
I’ve been making this cake for over 37 years! My family loves it, and so has everyone else who has tried it. 💕
Thanks for watching.
Merry Christmas,
Marie and Calvin
Ah...that's really neat🥰
What sweet couple 💑 😍 thank you for your cake recipe. ❤ looks delicious!!😊
If my friend were not allergic to nuts she would love this cake she loves pineapple and that pineapple cake looks delicious even without the topping but I would definitely have to figure out some other kind of topping for it
Marie, you are just about the loveliest, most authentic southern cook I have ever seen. I hope you keep making videos. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in these difficult times! Your cake looks just delicious!
Thanks very much, you are very kind.
Merry Christmas,
Marie and Calvin
Hello Marie, you are a lovely Lady.
Thank you so for the nice Video at look's sooo yummy.
Greethings from Germany 👍🌹
Have made this cake several times and it always turns out perfect! Everyone at our church loves it and I always have to make it for potluck the first Sunday of the month because if I showed up without it, they might stone me! Thanks so much for sharing with us. God bless you 🙏🏻
Thanks very much Debra
I just found a tornado cake
So awesom
So glad that you came up on my feed! This cake was out of this world! Sweet, buttery, nutty goodness and so moist. Can't be beat with a cup of coffee!
Thanks very much Julie.
That looks amazing to try. Please try to get into the habit of pouring hot liquids away from you not towards you. My late F-I-Law was a retired cheif Fireman. He once told me that many of their calls were burn related accidents while cooking. I had been draining hot water from boiled potatoes like how you just poured your topping on. He saw me & immediately corrected me. I always remember that. Scalding hot burns to the skin can lead to months of recovery. Please don't think that I am being rude pointing this out, better safe than sorry. Going to make that cake today. Merry Christmas. 🎄💕
Thanks very much. Yes, I will be more careful.
Merry Christmas,
Marie and Calvin

So true husband was f f to looking good 👍
I learned that the hard way! At work in a snack bar & an hour before closing we put the steam table items from metal to plastic ready for over night storage. Placing the plastic same size & shape container on top then flip it over. Only Once it burped! Splattered on my chest
eck area. The other girl said to go make an accident report. I declined saying to her "What am I to say, I burned my boobs with BBQ Beef!?" **Always make the splash zone Away From You**!
§My 10 year old granddaughter's learned a lot of safety tips from her accident prone g-ma(me)§
I always pour to the side.
I've been making this cake since I was knee high to a grasshopper ... taught to me by my Grandma. I do have to give one suggestion. The recipe by Grandma used said to stir in the vanilla to your topping right before you put it on your cake. If you add at the beginning, you're literally cooking all the vanilla out of the topping. Food for thought. Love your channel.
Thanks very much, yes that is a good tip.
Happy New Year's,
Marie and Calvin
You're not cooking the vanilla out that way. You'd be cooking the alcohol out and leaving the flavor of the vanilla.
It is a rule of baking to add flavorings after removing from the heat it prevents burning(scorching) the essence.
No...That information is not true. The reason being by adding it last, while it is still cooking, the Alcohol is cooked out of it. It only needs rapid cooking for thirty seconds or so, over a good medium fire, just so it bubbles up.
I promised you I'd come back and let you know how it turned out! I finally got some pecans and tried your recipe last night. My tornado cake was delicious. It didn't hang around either. I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you very much for this quick and easy dessert recipe that is a real crowd-pleaser. Peace and blessings to all at Southern Country Living.
Thanks very much for reporting back. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Have a fantastic weekend,
Marie and Calvin
Do you have a list of ingredients somewhere?
@@deborahcornell5551 click on the v button where it describes the video. There is a list of ingredients, and the detailed instructions!
That was very nice of them to do that for us!
jkhkjhkjhl
@@deborahcornell5551 youtube has changed the screen with the title and now there isn't a ' v' for a dropdown box with more info....but
Right under the title of the video it
says. ...( 'more...' )
Tap that word and it has more information😏❗
I also bake & cook & miss those days of doing this for my late husband. This recipe takes me back to Oklahoma & the people now gone. Cooking for loved ones is truly a blessing.
Thanks very much
This is very similar to the "chop suey" cake I grew up with. The difference is that all the ingredients of the topping on yours was baked into the cake in ours, and then frosted with a cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with more coconut and pecans. Crazy delicious!
Sounds much better than other recipe.
NW Oklahoma and that was Granny Max's (Maxine) recipe... Chop Suey Cake
That's sounds so good, I love cream cheese frosting
Mmmm your whole dinner makes me want to go visit the South again. And this cake would be the best ending of a wonderful meal like yours. Love pecans and coconut! Thanks for sharing with us.
She makes me want to come over for lunch, dinner and supper… Such sweet personalities ❤️
Thanks very much
This cake is also perfect for a single lady, on a lonely dateless do nothing Saturday night
I just love watching you cook. You are a true country cook and you don't put on any show of fancy pots and dishes. Just good cooking!
I’ve had a rather stressful day. I came to look at videos to unwind and CZcams served this up to me.
Your sweet nature, you’re relaxed and lovely speaking, and of course the delicious cake caused my shoulders to move downward about 4 inches! Ahhhhh
THANK YOU for being who you are; a gem of a southern gentle lady.
Subbed! I can’t wait to view your recipes. Stay safe from those crazy storms! And enjoy that cake! I know I’m going to.
My mom did this, way up north in Portland Oregon - back when it was liveable. 😣 and she broiled the topping. So awesome, so easy, this cake! I’d forgotten it, and now I’m thinking of her wonderful cooking skills, too. Taught me so much.
God bless you, and thank you. 😊👍❤️
Thanks very much. I enjoyed reading your comment and we appreciate you watching our videos.
Have a Blessed week,
Marie and Calvin
I could listen to her talk all day ,
You both put a smile on my face and in my heart such genuinely sweet souls !!! Love the "lay-back" in Georgians
Thanks very much.
Merry Christmas,
Marie and Calvin
From one southern baker/cook to another, I love your recipes! And I love your sweet voice, and disposition!💕😊

OMGOSH, this cake looks heavenly! You popped up in my feed, and I love the dishes you Southern ladies make. Reminds me of growing up. My youngest brother has lived in GA for the past 40 years. It's home for him now. I spent 7 months there, but the humidity wore me out, but you do get great thunderstorms! Marie, you're a great cook, just smile more often!
Thank you so much!
One doesn't need to wonder why you have almost 19,000 subscribers. I know it's your awesome cooking, but I am sure many of those love your accent. I sure do. (I am from Mississippi). Thank you for taking the time to feed all of us. It is so much appreciated. Have a great 2021! Stay safe and stay well.

That looks delicious! Definitely going to try this!
I recently found a recipe for this cake but it has 1 more teaspoon of baking soda. It also has a butter cream cheese icing. 1 stick of butter, 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, both softened, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well and add 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix well. I have gotten lots of compliments and requests for the recipe. Next time I will try your recipe. I know it will be awesome. Thank you.
That looks amazing my husband will love this! ❤
This looks delicious! Thanks! Your directions are great!
I've been wanting a dessert and this looks like what I'll be making. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

You are the sweetest southern woman ever. You remind me of my church family.. can't wait to try this cake reciepes. Looks and sounds so yummy
Good day! I, just, made your Tornado cake! It is delicious and, actually, less sweet than I had anticipated. It will be excellent with coffee. It would make a good breakfast cake too! Thanks!
Just made the cake this evening. It's surely a keeper. Thank you for the recipe. Nice, clear instructions. Good luck on your youtube journey.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love simple and delicious recipes. God bless you both.
Thanks very much.

Thanks very much Crystal.
Merry Christmas,

When I was growing up, my mom use to make a topping similar to yours except she used crushed walnuts. Once the topping was on she would broil it in the oven for a couple minutes until it started bubbling, then she took it out. The topping when cooled had a real nice taste and texture to it. I recall her using this on chocolate cake and a few other kinds. Love your video!
Thanks very much, yes this is a popular recipe that has been around for many years. I love hearing all the various ways of making it.
Happy New Year's,
Marie and Calvin
German chocolate cake she probably used it on.
My mom had a recipe that called for broiling the topping. The recipe was from a Betty Crocker cookbook and was called Lazy Daisy Oatmeal Cake.
Oooohhh, This broiling sounds like it would really take the taste to a higher level .... perhaps that of camp cooking.
Broiled icing is great. My mother used to put it on spice cake. I don’t remember cooking it, though. I think putting it under the broiler took care of that.
Hi Marie, made your cake last night OMG was the best cake I have ever ate in my life and was one of the easiest cakes to make. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thanks very much, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Marie and Calvin
Well you don't have to worry about getting in the veg storage or basement with this lovely cake. Amazing. Yes I. Bet you could use that icing recipe for the German chocolate cake. Love the simplicity of it and and you remind me of my sweet Beloved mother. Such a sweet and gentle mommy voice like yours dearest Marie. God bless you and your lovely families today, tomorrow, and always,. Missing home. Thoughtfully Yvonne Haddrell in UK.
This cake is delicious! I'm making one today for a friend. Thanks for sharing your recipe. This cake is always a hit 😍
Marie, Thank You for making and sharing this Tornado cake, which is sure to be delicious.
God Bless! From a Nor Cali Gal.
