Self Frosting Pineapple-Coconut Cake

 

How about a cake that frosts itself! It really does too

 

1 can crushed pineapple in syrup (8 3/4 oz can)

1/3 cup vegetable shortening

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg (large)

1 1/4 cup flour (sifted all purpose)

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coconut (flaked)

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup walnuts (I used pecans)

3 tablespoon margarine or butter (melted)

 

Thoroughly drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of the syrup. Beat

together shortening, sugar and vanilla. When creamy, beat in egg.

 

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture

alternately with reserved syrup, beating after each addition.

 

Spread 1/2 of batter in greased and floured 8 " round cake pan.

sprinkle with crushed pineapple. Cover with remaining batter.

 

In small bowl, combine coconut, brown sugar, walnuts and butter

sprinkle over batter.

 

Bake at 350° F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake tests done. Cut

into wedges and serve warm with ice cream.
