OLD-FASHIONED BROWN SUGAR CAKE
Not sure where this cake recipe came from, my mom passed it to me many years ago. We use it as a great holiday favorite but I usually sneak it in a couple times a year. It's a great treat to bring to a party or work. The brown sugar and almond extract give it a distinctive taste.

EASY SPICE CAKE WITH WARM BROWN SUGAR SAUCE

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter flavored oil spray.
- 2. Add cake mix, eggs, oil and water together in a bowl and mix for about 2-minutes. Pour into greased baking pan. Bake according to package directions (approximately 25-minutes baking time). Remove from oven when baking is complete and allow to cool.
- 3. FOR WARM BROWN SUGAR SAUCE: Melt butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Stir until butter melts and ingredients are mixed. Add milk and stir with a whisk until smooth. Allow to reach a low boil. Turn heat to low. Stir for one-minute. Remove from heat and allow to sit for one or two minutes. Add the vanilla before serving and stir again. (Store leftover sauce in refrigerator. It will set hard and need to be microwave heated to pour over leftover cake or ice cream)
- 4. Slice cake and place on serving dishes. (I use a low-rimmed bowl but a soup cup or a plate are equally fine). POUR the warm sauce over the cake and serve, preferably with a spoon so you don't miss even a drop of the deliciousness!
GINGERBREAD CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR SAUCE
A delightful discovery I made in my Company's Coming 'Lunches' cookbook. The original recipe includes a lemon sauce, but we prefer brown sugar sauce with a generous dollop of whipped cream rather. Or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mmm, and the smell... **Update Aug '09: Forget brown sugar sauce! Make a double recipe as a sheet cake (bake for only 20 minutes @ 325) with a double recipe of Recipe#127144! I don't know why I haven't updated this sooner -- I've been making it this way for at least the last 2 years already!!
