Keep stirring over medium for for 5-8 minutes until the butter begins to foam and turn golden brown. Remove from heat and pour into a glass bowl to make your frosting.

Pour frosting over warm (but not hot) cake and smooth until the entire surface of the cake is evenly covered. Slice into 24 even slices. Serve warm or cool and enjoy with a tall glass of frosty milk!
