Step 1

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy with a medium-speed electric mixer. After adding each egg, mix well. Mix in vanilla. 

Step 2

Lower mixer speed. Three portions of flour mixture and two portions of milk are added. Just combine. 

Step 3

Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until a pick inserted into the centre comes out clean, 35–40 minutes. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack. 

Step 4

FOR FROSTING: Place butter in a medium skillet or saucepan. Butter should melt and foam over medium heat. 

Step 5

Cook butter until brown specks form at the bottom and it smells nutty. Mix the butter, including the browned bits, in a large bowl. Let butter cool for an hour. Some solidification will occur. 

Step 6

Beat butter for a minute with a medium-speed electric mixer. Add confectioners' sugar slowly and mix well. 

Step 7

Put vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk in. Mix well and smoothly. Add milk a little at a time and mix until the frosting is the right consistency. Cover the cooled cake with frosting.
