How to Make Chocolate Broiler Cake Frosting

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup milk.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup shredded coconut (or a combination!).
  4. Pour the warm frosting evenly over the top of your freshly baked, still-warm chocolate cake.
  5. Place the cake on the lowest rack of your oven under a preheated broiler.
  6. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the frosting is lightly toasted and bubbly. The broiling time will depend on your oven; start by checking at 1 minute.
  7. Remove from the broiler and let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
