**Ingredients:**
*For the Cake:*
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple with juice
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1 cup chopped pecans
*For the Icing:*
– 1 cup evaporated milk
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
- **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- **Prepare the Cake Batter:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, eggs, and crushed pineapple with its juice. Mix until well combined.
- **Prepare the Topping:** In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and chopped pecans.
- **Assemble the Cake:** Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecan mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the cake batter over the topping, spreading it out evenly.
- **Bake the Cake:** Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Prepare the Icing:** While the cake is baking, make the icing. In a small saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- **Finish the Cake:** Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot icing over the top. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving.
