This sounds like it might be good if the whole recipe was there

This does sound like a good idea, but the cake recipe is incomplete.

How much milk? How many eggs?

sounds like a great recipe for a Halloween party. (reminds me of my favorite strarbucks drink-caramel apple spice).

So, is the top one totally wrong? The first one says cook the butter and brown sugar and the updated one says cut into, or would it matter... A few other discrepancies just trying to clarify.

If you read the whole recipe, you would see that although the ingredients for the cake were incomplete, when reading the method, the eggs, etc. were included.

Ok, this recipe sounds delicious to me and I am trying to make it..however the ingreident amounts in the two recipes are not the same at all..and how it is put together. I already used the brown sugar and butter from the 1st one and melted the butter and mixed the brown sugar in..then put it in the pan...now I am reading to mix the butter in and make it crumbly and press in. The ingredients listing does not show any sugar at all for the cake and the first instructions say 1 cup granulated sugar and the 2nd instructions say 2/3 cup brown sugar. Please help me. I really want to make this cake.
