Pineapple Cajun Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Prepare the baking vessel: Grease and dust a 9x13-inch rectangular pan with non-stick spray.
3
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
4
Introduce the pineapple: Add crushed pineapple with its juice to the bowl, followed by eggs. Mix on a low speed setting until all components are fully incorporated and smooth.
5
Pour the batter: Transfer the prepared mixture to the 9x13-inch pan, spreading it evenly.
6
Bake until done: Place the cake in a preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Prepare the topping: In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, milk, and margarine. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
8
Add the nuts and coconut: Stir in chopped pecans and shredded coconut to combine with the topping mixture.
9
Finish with a glaze: Remove the cake from the oven and immediately pour the warm topping over it, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
