    Buttery Glaze: In a small saucepan combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter and if you like 1 teaspoon of hazelnut flavoring(you can leave it out if you like) or leave the flavoring out. Stir and bring to a boil simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour immediately over the warm cake. Let stand in the pan a few hours.

    By the way, I think this could be made in a smaller cake pan possibly in a star shaped or some of the other beautifully shapped ones.
