Pineapple Flop Cake


 

Well here, we are at day three of ant warfare. We spray in the cracks and crevices and think we have gotten them all until dinner when little pests find a way through. They have moved from the counters to the floor. Sigh

I have decided to make a pineapple flop cake. This is great little cake with tropical twist in the icing. The frosting has coconut and pecans in it. This is a crowd pleaser; especially with those who love pineapple upside down cake.

Cake Ingredients:

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 ½ cups sugar

20 ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained

 

Directions:

Preheat to 350°F

Mix flour, baking soda and sugar in a bowl

Stir in pineapple

Pour into prepared pan

bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden

 

Icing Ingredients:

1 small can evaporated milk

1 stick margarine

1 cup white sugar

½  teaspoon vanilla

1 cup coconut, shredded

½ cup chopped pecans

 

Directions:

In a saucepan, bring margarine, milk, and sugar to a boil

Stir constantly for four minutes

Remove from heat, stir in pecans, coconut and vanilla

Pour evenly over hot cake
