Carolyn's Do-Nothing Cake

2 whole eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups sifted plain all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 16-ounce can crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 can evaporated milk
Oven:  300º

Grease a 9 x 12-inch baking pan.  Combine eggs, 2 cups sugar, flour, soda, salt, extract and pineapple with juice and mix together.  Pour into pan and bake about 30 minutes.  In saucepan combine 1/2-cup butter, 1-cup sugar and evaporated milk; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.  Continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent scorching.  Prick holes in still-warm cake with a fork and pour this mixture over the top.
