1 c. brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon

In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Using a wooden spoon, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture to form a very thick batter. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13"x9" baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Stir in cream and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour warm Caramel Glaze over cake. Serve warm or cooled. Serves 16.
