📝 Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  3. Add eggs, vanilla, and crushed pineapple with juice. Stir by hand until fully mixed.
  4. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    • In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, butter, and sugar.
    • Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
    • Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans.
  6. When the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour the warm topping over the hot cake.

💡 Tips & Notes

  • Don’t drain the pineapple — the juice is key for the moist texture.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for a cozy flavor boost.
  • This cake gets even better the next day after the topping soaks in!
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
