Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13" baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and granulated sugar).
Add eggs, vanilla, and crushed pineapple with its juice. Mix until well combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove cake from the oven. Allow to rest about 5-10 minutes, then poke holes in the top with a wooden skewer, handle of a wooden spoon, a chopstick, or even with a fork.
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla, over medium-high heat, stirring often, until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in chopped pecans and coconut.
