I found the basic recipe on Facebook, but the quantities of ingredients were a bit off as well as the baking time. I made a few adjustments and it came out amazingly. This cake is really at its best the day after baking it because the topping has really soaked through then. We keep it in the refrigerator because of our temperatures as well as ants. Just remove it about 10 minutes before serving so that it comes back to room temperature.

Fold in the rest of the pineapple, transfer to dish and bake for approximately 45 - 50 minutes. Check to see if toothpick comes out clean.

For the topping About 5 minutes before cake is ready, put the ideal milk and sugar in a small pot on the stove, bring to the boil stirring constantly, be careful it doesn't boil over. Add coconut and chopped nuts. Your cake should be ready now, remove from oven and pour topping over evenly immediately while cake is hot. Cool and refrigerate
