- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups all purpose flour

- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup whipping cream or milk
Preheat oven to 350(f).
In a 1-qt saucepan combine 1/2 cup butter and 1/3 cup whipping cream. Cook over low heat, stirring until butter melts; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine sugar and eggs. Beat until creamy. Add butter mixture, flour, baking powder and salt. Continue whipping until well blended. Spread batter into greased and floured 16×9 pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Set the cake to the side and turn on your broiler.
In a bowl combine all of the frosting ingredients. Spread over cake, and broil for 2 to 4 minutes or until bubbly.
Can be served warm or cool.
**I like the fresh served hot with a little scoop of ice cream. Then the leftover – cold cake – is AMAZING with the morning coffee!!!
