A moist pineapple cake with a nutty coconut frosting. This is a wonderfully rich cake, best if made the day ahead.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, oil, pineapple and vanilla, mix until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
3 Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
