4. Prepare the Frosting:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Let it boil for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Frost the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, pour the warm frosting over the top, spreading it evenly using a spatula.
- Allow the frosting to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
6. Serving:
- Slice the cake into squares and serve. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
7. Storage:
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate the cake to extend its freshness.
