    For icing, in a saucepan over low heat, cook butter and
    brown sugar until butter is melted and mixture is
    smooth. Stir in evaporated milk; bring to a boil,
    stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; cool to room
    temperature. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla
    until smooth. Spread between layers and over top of
    cake.
