After parially cool, invert cakes on wire rack and carefully peel off waxed paper. Put layers together with Cream Filling and frost with Brown Sugar Frosting.

Place top of double boiler onto bottom. Slowly stir in 2 cups scalded (when skin appears on top of milk) milk and cook 15 minutes or until thick over boiling water. Add a little of hot mixture to 2 slightly beaten eggs in a dish and stir to blend. Then stir this egg mixture into milk mixture in double boiler. Continue cooking 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and cool. When completely cool (can refrigerate), stir and use as filling between cake layers.
Frosting- Don't make frosting until cake is put together with filling. Beat 2 egg WHITES until stiff. Cook 1 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup water to a soft ball stage (236 degrees) in a small pan.

Frost cake immediately as this mixture will turn hard quickly.
