Pour in cake batter and bake at 325F for 50-60 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. For the glaze, in a saucepan, combine all ingredients and heat on medium heat to melt butter and sugar. Stir frequently. Bring to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes. Let baked bake cool in pan for 10 minutes on a rack. Remove from pan and place on rack that has been placed over a deep dish. Gradually spoon hot glaze over warm cake, a few tablespoons at a time, so cake will absorb all of the glaze. |
