For the cake:
2
Preheat your oven to 350F. Cream the 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar, and then just add the rest of your cake ingredients. Mix on the lowest speed until just combined, then up the speed 1-2 notches and mix for 3 minutes. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately pour on glaze, recipe below.

For the glaze:

Melt the last 5 ingredients together over medium heat, stirring to keep the sugar from burning on the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil and cook for 2 more minutes. Then pour immediately over the cake.

Let cake sit and cool for at least an hour before digging in, although I would recommend letting it cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
