👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add in eggs, crushed pineapple (with juice), and vanilla. Mix just until combined – batter will be thick.
4. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle brown sugar and chopped pecans evenly over the top.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake bakes, make the glaze (if using): In a small saucepan, combine milk, butter, sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
7. When cake is done, pour warm glaze over the hot cake. Let it soak in before serving.
8. Cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!

💡 Tips & Notes

• You can substitute walnuts for pecans if preferred.
• Don’t overmix – just combine until no dry spots remain.
• This cake tastes even better the next day after the glaze sets!
