In my South African childhood, our maid Phyllis, who was an exceptional cook and baker, used to make this for Shabbos and Yom Tov. It was always a crowd pleaser.
I hope it makes your family and friends smile!
Happy cooking and Shana Tova!

1-1.5 tsp cinnamon
8 beaten eggs
3/4 cup veg oil
1/4 lemon squeezed
1/2 cup raisins

1. Grease a loaf pan (or a rectangular pan) with oil or margarine (or line with baking paper).
2. Boil noodles in a large pot and drain well.
3. Add oil and sugar, and mix well.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients.
5. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon.

You can replace the tinned pineapples with 6 peeled and chopped apples for a tasty Rosh Hashanah twist.
