Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 cup white sugar
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
•
2 large eggs
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
•
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup evaporated milk
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Make the cake: Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in undrained pineapple, eggs, and vanilla until just combined. Pour into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan.
3
Make the topping: Mix brown sugar and walnuts together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over cake batter.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
5
While the cake is baking, make the glaze: Combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and sugar dissolves; mixture will be thin.
6
Remove cake from the oven and immediately pour glaze over the surface. Serve warm or at room temperature.
