Broil-Top Cake

 Recipe: 

Yellow Cake
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk


Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.  Add eggs beating for 1 minute after each.  Mix the dry ingredients in separate bowl.  Add dry mixture and milk alternating.  Grease and lightly flour 9 1/2×13″ glass baking pan.  Bake 375 for 30-35 min.


For Topping
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped walnuts


In medium saucepan combine 1/4 cup butter and 2 tbsp milk.  Cook and stir until butter melts.  Add 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, stir until dissolves.  Remove from heat and add 3/4 cup chopped walnuts.

Pour all over the cake (works great with boxed cake in a pinch).

Place under broiler and watch it, you don’t want to walnuts to burn.  It will start to bubble and turn golden brown.


Remove from broiler and let sit for a little before you serve.  It tastes great warm or cold, tastes especially great the next morning with a cup of coffee 🙂
