Homemade Granny Cake

### Instructions:

1. **Preheat the oven** to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. **Mix the cake batter:** In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, and baking soda. Add the eggs and crushed pineapple (with juice), and mix until combined.

3. **Pour into the pan:** Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and chopped pecans.

4. **Bake for 35–40 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. **Make the topping while the cake bakes:** In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, evaporated milk, vanilla, and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.

6. **Pour the topping over the hot cake** as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let it soak in and cool slightly before serving.
