INGREDIENTS
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple packed in fruit juice
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Arrange your oven racks so that they divide your oven into thirds.
-
Prepare a 9×13” baking pan with cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt with a whisk.
-
Add the can of crushed pineapple (juice included), eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk to combine.
-
Pour the batter into the greased pan.
-
Bake at 350°F on the upper oven rack for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Meanwhile, place the chopped pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast on the lower rack in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the pecans are nicely toasted.
-
Remove both the cake and pecans from the oven when they’re done and set them aside.
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, then stir in the sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, and salt.
-
Bring the mixture to a full boil, then continue boiling for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Add three-quarters of the toasted pecan and all of the shredded coconut.
-
Use a wooden skewer to poke holes all over the cake, stopping just short of the bottom of the cake.
-
Pour the warm topping over the warm cake and gently spread it into an even later.
-
Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top, then allow the cake to cool for about at least an hour before serving.
