Do-Nothing Cake

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple -- undrained
TOPPING
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 5 ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut

Put all cake ingredients into a bowl and mix with a spoon (NO MIXER). Pour into a 9 X 12 pan. Bake at 350° for 30-40 degrees or until center is done.

For topping, combine butter, sugar and milk in small saucepan. Cook 5 minutes. Add nuts and coconut. Spoon on cake while hot. Yummy!


Note: I didn't have any crushed pineapple, but had chunk instead. I drained off about a 1/2 inch of the juice and ran it through food processor to "chop up". It was somewhat chunkier than the crushed, but I think I preferred it. The recipe originally called for 2 cups sugar in the cake and 1 cup in the topping, but you don't need that much. I served with whipped topping and it was great!!
