Plan B
Sounds like the perfect cake. I love the lovely golden color. Very appealing.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
oh my that cakes looks good. i really enjoy looking through your recipes, they're quite inspiring. i make a similar topping without the milk and with a tad more butter. i keep meaning to post it on my blog, guess i'll have to now!

that broiled topping is quite possibly the best thing to rest atop a cake that i know. it trumps cream cheese frosting and ganache and everything else coming to mind right now--great cake!!
This reminds me of the coconut frosting I always see on German chocolate cake. I prefer non-chocolate cakes, so I like your version much better! Yum!
