Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 large can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice
- 1 cup sugar (for frosting)
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 1 can (5 1/2 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Add the vanilla extract, beaten eggs, and crushed pineapple with juice. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk. Heat until boiling, then cook and stir for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Poke holes all over the cake and pour the hot frosting over it, spreading it out for even coverage.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before cutting.
