Tropical Sunshine Cake

"I have made this several times, it's delicious. I use more crushed pineapple and almonds than the recipe calls for and usually double the topping for a sweeter taste, and since I do not like the texture of coconut, I don't add it when I make this; I did not include these changes in the recipe below. I got this from a can Carnation evaporated milk."
