Cake
- 2 cups cake flour*
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 whole eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with its juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Icing
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly butter a 13 x 9 x 2 inch cake pan; set aside.
Cake
- Sift together the cake flour, sugar, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs and crushed pineapple and juice; blend to produce a smooth batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Mix together the brown sugar and chopped pecans and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the cake before baking.
- Bake the pineapple cake for about 40 minutes, or until a cake tester can be cleanly removed from the center of the cake.
Icing
- In a medium saucepan, blend together the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk. Over moderate heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Stirring constantly, boil the icing for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Time your preparation so that you may pour the icing over the hot cake when it's just finished and out of the oven.
