This is my family's traditional angel food cake frosting. It is so very rich that it may be complete overkill on a sweeter, heavier cake. My grandmother made many a birthday cake using this recipe. In fact, the photograph that I have included is from my older brother's 2nd birthday in March 1961! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup milk |
3 1/4 cups powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the brown sugar.
2. Boil and stir for at least one minute.
3. Take the saucepan off the heat and add the milk.
4. With a hand mixer beat in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time until the spreading consistency is right for you.
5. It should not be a very thick consistency for angel food cake, because it will harden as it cools.
