      Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>.
      \nGrease a rectangular sheet pan (9\u00d713 inch) with butter or oil, and lightly dust it with flour, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/h2>\n

      In a large mixing bowl:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt<\/li>\n
      • Whisk everything together until evenly combined<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This step ensures your cake rises evenly and has a smooth texture.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients<\/h2>\n

        To the same bowl, add:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Eggs<\/li>\n
        • Vegetable oil<\/li>\n
        • Vanilla extract<\/li>\n
        • Crushed pineapple (including the juice)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Mix everything thoroughly using a whisk or electric mixer.
          \nThe batter will look slightly loose and moist\u2014that\u2019s exactly what you want.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 4: Bake the Cake<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Pour the batter into your prepared pan<\/li>\n
          • Spread it evenly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Bake for 30\u201335 minutes<\/strong>, or until:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • The top is golden<\/li>\n
            • A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Avoid overbaking\u2014this cake is meant to stay soft and moist.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0Step 5: Prepare the Frosting<\/h2>\n

              While the cake is baking, prepare the topping:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter<\/li>\n
              2. Add the brown sugar and evaporated milk<\/li>\n
              3. Stir continuously and bring to a gentle boil<\/li>\n
              4. Let it simmer for about 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Remove from heat and stir in:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Vanilla extract<\/li>\n
                • Chopped nuts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  The frosting should be smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened.<\/p>\n

                  \u00a0Step 6: Assemble the Cake<\/h2>\n

                  Once the cake is done:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Remove it from the oven while still hot<\/strong><\/li>\n
                  • Immediately pour the warm frosting over the cake<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Spread it evenly so it soaks into the surface.
                    \nThis step gives the cake its signature rich texture.<\/p>\n

                    \u00a0Cooling & Serving<\/h1>\n
                      \n
                    • Let the cake cool completely in the pan<\/li>\n
                    • As it cools, the frosting sets and slightly caramelizes<\/li>\n
                    • Cut into squares or rectangles (classic sheet cake style)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      \u00a0Flavor & Texture<\/h1>\n

                      This cake is:<\/p>\n
