This is my guess at a now deceased relative's frosting she made without a recipe. She gave me her method and approximate amounts many many years ago, and when I make it, it tastes just like hers. She would frost half a two-layer cake with this and the other half with chocolate for birthday gatherings so you would have a choice of flavors. Read more . Either use this recipe for a small 8x8 or 9x9 sheetcake or double the recipe for a two layer cake. You need to spread it on thick not thin!
Ingredients:
3/4 stick butter
1 - 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (i like dark brown)
