2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
20 oz 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
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13" baking pan with butter. In a large mixing bowl, mix together your flour, sugar, baking soda, eggs, vanilla, and crushed pineapple. Pour into your baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Poke several holes in the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon. In a medium sized sauce pan, heat your butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla until it reaches a boil. Mix in your pecans and coconut and continue cooking for about 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour your topping evenly over your cake, slice, and enjoy!
