Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven but leave it in the pan.

While the cake is still hot, spread the topping evenly over the top.

Place the cake under the broiler until the topping is bubbly and tinged with gold, watching carefully to prevent burning.
