  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.
