This frosting recipe was the one my Grandma used on top of her oatmeal cake, spice cake, and banana nut cake. I also like it on a yellow or white cake. You do have to use at once because this does stiffen as it cools.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 6 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk milk into the saucepan until mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Beat 3 cups confectioners' sugar and salt into the butter mixture with an electric mixer on low speed. Add remaining confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, beating until smooth.
Cook’s Notes:
If desired, garnish frosting with chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
