“This is a very strong, very rich frosting and a little goes a long way.” – April Ferre
Easy Caramel Frosting
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Butter or Margarine Softened
- 1 Cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 6 Tablespoons Milk
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar Or More for a Thicker Frosting
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan; stir in brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and add milk, stirring vigorously.
- Put back over heat and bring to a full boil again. Set aside to cool until lukewarm.
- Stir in powdered sugar and beat until smooth and cool enough to spread. Add more powdered sugar as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Work quickly to frost your cake or cupcakes, as it will become stiffer as it cools. If frosting stiffens too quickly while spreading, beat in a few drops of milk.
- Frosts tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch layers.
