  To make the glaze add 1/2 stick butter to small sauce pan, then add chopped nuts, and heat over medium high heat to toast the nuts, all the while you are stirring, about 5 minutes. Then add the brown sugar, heavy cream, and corn syrup, then bring to a rolling boil, continue to stir for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat allow to cool somewhat, then add the butter extract into the glaze and stir to blend together. Then carefully drizzle over cake, allowing it to drip down along the sides of the cake as you drizzle along the outer edge of cake. Add the remaining glaze over the top of cake, or save and add it to individual slices. I added all of mine on the cake.
