Nancy's Notes:

My Mom's been gone for some time now and this is one of the recipes she gave me after I tried it and loved it. Funny how little things like recipes bring back memories and times spent together...enjoy!

Directions

Mix together first 4 ingredients (sugar, flour, soda & salt.)

Then add in eggs and crushed pineapple. Mix with spoon until all moistened.

Pour into a 9x13" greased pan.

Sprinkle 1/3 cup brown sugar and the walnuts over the cake mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. ( no need to cover)

Boil 1 cup canned milk with 1 stick of margarine and 1 teaspoon vanilla. (just to boil and take off heat)

Pour the milk mixture over the warm cake.

Cut into squares and serve with ice cream and/or whipped cream. Keep pan covered so it doesn't dry out.

Thanks Debbie, no, it's a teaspoon. I went in and edited it correctly. Just when you think it's all good to go, I must be tired but do appreciate you catching it so early.
