   1/2 c  Butter; in cube

 In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and

 creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well

 Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
 Bake @ 350ºF/175ºC until a toothpick inserted in the
 center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10
 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool
 completely.

 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.
