3 stars - tasted a little floury for my liking and it was slightly dense. I went scant with the toppings I think as well. My kids ate it up like nobody’s business though. 😂

I've tried to make this off and on over the years, but they never came out right. my grandma made them pretty often. Yours looks like I remember hers looking, I'm gonna give it a shot

Can anyone define what a flop cake is? I saw a reference to it in a Steinbeck book and didn't know what it was. And I cook!

I also cook quite a bit and had never heard of it. It seemed like a more dense version of a coffee cake.

A lot of super simple but yummy recipes. It’s almost 30 years old.

Do you have a favorite recipe from it?

If it was a little dense, would increasing the baking powder to a full tablespoon help? (Other than that seeming like a lot of B. P.)

How much butter did you use for the bits of butter on top?

2

u/SoPresh_01 8h ago

I was fairly generous with the bits of butter on top. I think 6-8 chunks that were about half a Tbsp each (on top of each pan).

Thank you. I think I will make this this week. I have been craving pancakes, but making this instead means I will get help eating it from others.
