Ingredients
For the Cake:
-
- Nonstick cooking spray
-
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 can pineapple, in juice, drained
- 1 can peaches, in juice, drained
-
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
For the Frosting:
-
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup evaporated milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your cake comes out cleanly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, drained pineapple, drained peaches, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated. Add in the all-purpose flour and baking soda, stirring until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, start making the frosting. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, sweetened coconut flakes, brown sugar, and evaporated milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and thickened, which should take about 2 minutes.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot frosting over the top. Spread the frosting evenly over the cake using a spatula. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving.
