2. Make the Caramel Glaze
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Stir in brown sugar and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add milk and a pinch of salt; bring to a gentle boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 3–5 minutes.
- Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour or drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled cake. It will thicken as it sets, forming a rich, glossy finish.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Add crunch: Mix in ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, or sprinkle them over the glaze.
- Make ahead magic: This cake tastes even better the next day as the caramel soaks in.
- Serve it up: Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
