Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. We want it to be slightly gooey for a more moist texture!

For the frosting: start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Keep stirring occasionally. After 5-8 minutes, the butter will begin browning.

You’ll notice lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan and it will have a nutty aroma. Once browned, remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Refrigerate until solid.
