Grandma’s Lazy Cake

cake:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

frosting:

• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 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 16x9 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!!!
