Sorry - I tried to rate the recipe three stars, not one star.  Not sure why it didn't work.

The cake itself is lovely, easy to make and not too sweet, but I agree with other reviewers that the frosting recipe as written doesn't work.  After 9 minutes of "moderate heat" the sugar didn't have even a hint of color, never mind a "medium-dark amber."  I let mine cook a full 20 minutes, but even then it wasn't dark enough to color or flavor the finished product.  The frosting is edible, certainly, but is nowhere close to the "super-caramelly" that the recipe description advertised.
