Granny Cake

This Granny Cake is a nostalgic favorite — easy to prepare, yet full of flavor and wonderfully moist. It features a soft pineapple-infused cake, a sweet brown sugar and pecan topping, and a warm buttery glaze that seeps into every bite. A true old-fashioned treat that feels like a warm hug.


🍰 Granny Cake

Ingredients

For the Cake:

IngredientAmount
Granulated sugar1 ½ cups
All-purpose flour2 cups
Baking soda1 teaspoon
Salt½ teaspoon
Eggs2 large
Crushed pineapple (with juice)1 can (20 oz)
Brown sugar1 cup
Chopped pecans1 cup

For the Icing:

IngredientAmount
Evaporated milk1 cup
Granulated sugar½ cup
Unsalted butter½ cup (1 stick)
Vanilla extract1 teaspoon

🧁 Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add in the eggs and crushed pineapple (with juice), stirring until everything is just mixed.

2. Assemble and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar and chopped pecans evenly over the top of the batter. Bake in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

3. Make the Glaze
While the cake is in the oven, heat the evaporated milk, sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.

4. Finish the Cake
Remove the glaze from heat and stir in the vanilla. Once the cake comes out of the oven, pour the hot glaze over the warm cake, making sure it covers the entire surface. Let the cake sit so the icing can soak in completely.


Serving Tips:
Enjoy this dessert warm for the ultimate cozy experience, or let it cool and slice it for a rich, sticky treat that holds its flavor beautifully.
