In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sugars. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top.
