Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed pineapple with juice, eggs, oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well blended.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until fully incorporated—do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Icing Preparation
- While the cake bakes, make the icing: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, butter, and sugar. Stir until butter melts and mixture begins to simmer.
- Add shredded coconut, toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir and simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
Finishing Touch
- Once the cake is done and still warm, pour the icing evenly over the top.
- Let the cake cool before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For best results, pour the icing onto a warm cake. This cake is great for leftovers, even enjoyed cold.
