Ingredients

• Cake:
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 20 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice
• Frosting:
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• dash of salt
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup shredded coconut (I used sweetened)

Preparation

Step 1

For cake: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl; whisk till well combined.

Pour batter into a greased 9x13" pan and bake in an oven preheated to 350° for about 35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

While cake is baking, prepare frosting: Combine butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, salt, pecans, and coconut.

Poke holes in the hot cake with the top of a wooden spoon. Spread the frosting evenly over the hot cake.

Let cake cool for a few minutes before serving. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

Yield: 16-20 servings
