1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
3/4 cup brown sugar

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat well. Add vanilla, milk and 2 tablespoons Madeira or port. In separate bowl, mix nuts, flour and baking powder. Fold in butter-egg mixture until batter forms; do not overbeat.

Spoon into lightly greased and floured 9-inch square pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. After removing from oven, brush with 2 to 3 tablespoons of wine. Cool to room temperature and glaze.

To make glaze, mix powdered sugar, butter and wine to spreading consistency.
