Recipe for Cooked Frosting

I remember an aunt making a wonderful caramel frosting that was cooked and then poured over the cake. It dried smooth and would even crack when you cut through it. Does anyone out there have the recipe?

This delicious caramel glaze is the perfect topping for a spice cake,
or use it to finish just about any Bundt cake.

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Stir in sugars.
Cook the butter and sugar mixture, stirring, for 1 minute or until bubbly.
Stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil. Cook the mixture,
stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Spoon the caramel glaze over a completely cooled cake.
