Cajun Pineapple Cake With Coconut Pecan Icing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

For Cake: In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, eggs, salt, baking soda, vanilla, and crushed pineapple with juice. Mix by hand until frothy and well-mixed.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. While cake is baking, prepare icing.

For Icing: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to stir and boil for exactly 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Spread warm icing over cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Store in pan.
