→ Cake Mix
01 -
2 cups of general-purpose flour
02 -
1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
03 -
1 teaspoon of baking soda
04 -
½ teaspoon table salt
05 -
2 large eggs
06 -
1 can (20 oz.) of crushed pineapple, juice included
07 -
1 cup of chopped pecans (to sprinkle on top)
08 -
1 cup brown sugar (to sprinkle on top)
→ Icing Blend
09 -
1 cup evaporated milk
10 -
½ cup butter (1 stick)
11 -
½ cup granulated sugar
12 -
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
# Steps:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 350°F. Coat your 9×13-inch baking pan lightly with oil or non-stick spray, so nothing sticks to it.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl, toss in the sugar, flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir in your eggs along with all the pineapple and its juice. Keep mixing until you’ve got a smooth, well-combined consistency.
03 -
Dump that batter into the greased dish and even it out. Scatter the brown sugar and pecans across the top. Put it in the oven for 40-45 minutes. It’s ready when a toothpick poked in the center comes out clear.
04 -
While the cake’s in the oven, let’s work on the topping. Mix evaporated milk, butter, and white sugar in a small pot. Heat everything on medium, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and it begins boiling. Once done, mix in the vanilla and set it aside.
05 -
After baking, pull out the cake and poke it all over with a toothpick. Pour the warm icing across the surface, letting it seep into every little hole. Leave it be until the icing sets in and the cake cools down.
06 -
Once cool, slice the cake into squares and serve. You'll get a tasty combo of sweet pineapple cake and crunchy pecan topping in every bite!
