Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 eggs
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch baking pan. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and 2 cups sugar; set aside.
