Betty’s Pineapple Cake

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 egg whites
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Topping:
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 9 tablespoons margarine
• 3 egg yolks, beaten

Directions

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

Mix flour, pineapple, 1 1/2 cups white sugar, oil, egg whites, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a 9×13-inch baking dish.

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

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.
