For the Caramel Glaze:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Pour warm glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Use dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing to prevent sogginess.
