Ingredients
Cake
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapples, with juice
- 1 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped (for topping)
Icing
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with oil. In a large bowl combine white sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt, whisk.
- Then add eggs, crushed pineapples with juice and mix with a spoon until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dough with chopped pecans and brown sugar. Place the baking dish in the oven, bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and dry.
- Icing: Mix evaporated milk, white sugar, and butter in a little saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Remove icing from heat, add vanilla, and stir.
- Take the pie out of the oven, prick it with a toothpick or bamboo skewer around the entire perimeter. This is necessary in order for the icing to saturate the entire pie.
- Pour hot icing over the cake and let cool completely. Cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
- The finished glaze hardens quickly, so start cooking it 5 minutes before the end of baking.
- The amount of brown sugar for topping can be reduced by 2 times, the main thing is that sugar evenly covers the layer of nuts. Then it is caramelized in the oven and you will get a delicious crispy layer.
