Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking pan
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Wire rack
- 1 Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 20 ounce can crushed pineapple with juice
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup butter
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:Add the undrained crushed pineapple and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is well-blended. Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking pan.
- Bake the Cake:Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for around 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the Topping:While the cake bakes, combine the butter, evaporated milk, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the Topping Over the Cake:Once the cake is done, take it out of the oven and set it on a wire rack. Immediately pour the hot butter mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Cool and Serve:Let the cake cool for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
