Like the classic caramel frosting, this one hardens quickly, so cool the cake layers before you start to make it. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Bring first 3 ingredients to a rolling boil in a 3 1/2-qt. saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly (about 7 minutes).
2. Stir in cream, and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Pour into bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla at medium speed, using whisk attachment; beat 8 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Use immediately.
3. Test Kitchen Tip: Don't panic if you overbeat the frosting. Thin to a spreadable consistency by adding 1 to 2 tsp. hot water.
