Butterscotch Glaze

Pound type cakes with little or no frosting are my favorites.  This glaze is quick and easy, and it doesn't overpower the cake.  I have used this glaze on apple cake, carrot cake, and chocolate chip pound cake.  Adding finely ground pecans might be nice.

Butterscotch Glaze

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons milk or buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Add milk or buttermilk and brown sugar, dissolving brown sugar.  Bring to a boil and boil vigorously without stirring for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Stir in powdered sugar and beat until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.  Drizzle over Bundt type cake or use to frost a 9x13 inch sheet cake.
