Oats provide texture and are often more affordable.

Start by measuring 2 and 3/4 cups of flour and set it aside.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and ensure they are room temperature.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups of sugar with 1 and 1/2 sticks of room temperature butter.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, combine the evaporated milk with 1/2 tablespoon of coconut flavor and 1/2 teaspoon of pineapple flavor.

In the flour mixture, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, then mix.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low to prevent flour from flying everywhere.

Once combined, scrape down the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed well without overmixing.

Prepare the caramel by either using store-bought or making your own by boiling sweetened condensed milk in water for 3 hours or baking it in the oven at 400°F for 4 hours.

Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake the cake according to your preferred method, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Once cooled, drizzle the caramel over the cake.
