Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups crushed pineapple, undrained

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  • 3 egg whites

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Topping:

  • ⅔ cup white sugar

  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk

  • 9 tablespoons margarine

  • 3 egg yolks, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix flour, pineapple, 1 1/2 cups white sugar, oil, egg whites, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

  4. Heat 2/3 cup sugar, evaporated milk, and margarine together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir 1/2 cup sugar mixture into egg yolks until egg yolks are warmed. Stir egg yolk mixture back into saucepan with sugar mixture; bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until reduced and thickened, at least 7 minutes. Pour hot mixture over cake. Set cake aside to cool until set, at least 4 hours.
