Ingredients

Cake-

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20oz can crushed pineapple

Topping-

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla, combine with flour and soda, mix. Add chopped pineapples with juice from a can and knead a uniform dough.
  • Pour the dough into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes. Check availability with a bamboo skewer.
  • Melt butter, evaporated milk, vanilla, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook constantly stirring until boiling. Add chopped nuts and coconut flakes, mix and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Make holes in the cake, pour over the icing and evenly distribute it. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Cut the pineapples to your liking. I prefer small pieces.

  • There is usually not a lot of pineapple juice in a tin can, so you can pour it all in the dough.

  • A rectangular baking dish of 9 * 13, or round with a diameter of 10 inches, is well suited for this recipe.
