Icing
8 T butter (melted)
4 T cream (half and half, milk, or canned milk will work as well)
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. coconut
1/2 c. walnuts
1/2 t vanilla
Heat broiler. Combine brown sugar, butter, and cream. Beat on a high speed until smooth. Stir in coconut and nuts. Spoon over warm cake; spread to cover. Broil 4-6 inches from heat for 1 - 2 minutes until bubbly and light golden brown.
*You can leave the coconut and nuts out of the frosting. I threw both of mine in the food processor and turned them into more of a crumb mixture.
