Also known as "Do Nothing" Cake, this vintage dessert is incredibly moist and sweet. A pineapple flavored cake with a decadent coconut and pecan topping makes for the best treat.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, sugar and brown sugar.
Add the eggs, vanilla and pineapple and stir to combine.
Spread the cake mixture evenly into the pan and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out damp, but not doughy.
During the last 5 minutes of baking time, add the butter, evaporated milk, brown sugar and granulated sugar to a saucepan. Heat to boiling. Boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, pecans and coconut.
Remove cake from the oven and poke holes in the cake. Pour the boiling frosting over the cake and spread evenly.
Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving or cool completely.
