  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Make the topping: Mix brown sugar and walnuts together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over cake batter.

  • Remove cake from the oven and immediately pour glaze over the surface. Serve warm or at room temperature.
