Ingredients

2 eggs
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix the eggs, undrained crushed pineapple, flour, 1 cup of the white sugar, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla together and stir until just combined. Pour batter into one ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Combine the light brown sugar and the chopped nuts. Sprinkle over the top of the cake batter. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Remove cake from oven and pour topping over hot cake.
