 While cake is baking, prepare glaze.  Place all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan.  Bring to a slow boil over med. heat.  Simmer for 2-3 minutes until glaze starts to thicken.

Place still warm cake on serving platter and slowly drizzle the glaze over the cake allowing it to absorb into cake.
