Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
In medium saucepan, melt butter and add brown sugar. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Add milk, continue cooking until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Remove from heat.
Beat in icing sugar in 3 additions making sure to combine thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla and if required add enough milk to make a nice spreadable consistency.
This makes enough frosting to generously cover one 9x13 cake with some leftovers or 12 large cupcakes. Delicious!
Note: 1.5 times the recipe yields enough icing for a double layer cake (like Seany’s sweetheart cake for instance)
