• Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and spread the cake batter in the dish. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup brown sugar over the top of the batter along with the nuts. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes checking for doneness since ovens vary.
• Serve with whipped cream or ice cream on top. This cake does not need frosting. It is just that good but you could add about any type of frosting if you want.

• 2. Pour into greased and floured tube pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 325 degrees. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Remove, and frost while still warm with this topping:
• 3. TOPPING: boil milk, sugar, and butter for about 5 minutes. Add nuts and vanilla. Pour over cake while still warm.
• 4. We like assembling this cake in a large glass bowl. The topping will run down the sides of the cake and collect underneath, where it can be spooned over each slice. If you use a cake plate, let the topping cool somewhat first or it will run all over your cake plate and even drip off.
