In a medium bowl, stir together light brown sugar and chopped pecans. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the granny cake batter.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Check for readiness with a toothpick, if it comes out clean - your easy granny cake is ready. Remove from the oven

Prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, stir together evaporated milk, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Poke holes all over the granny cake using a skewer. Then, evenly pour the glaze over the cake. Let it cool completely. Then, place in the refrigerator or slice and serve immediately!
