Bake at 350u00b0 for 20 minutes.", "While cake is baking, combine brown sugar and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute. Pour brown sugar mixture over cake. Let it glop into the batter. Cover the whole top of cake. Bake at 350u00b0 for an additional 13 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
