Directions:
Mix brown sugar and 1 cup heavy whipping cream in a heavy saucy pan. Cover and cook about 3 minutes. Uncover and cook without stirring to a temperature of 238 - 240º. Add in 3 Tablespoons of butter. Remove from heat. Cool to a temperature of 110º. Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat icing with a wire whip or hand mixer until thick and creamy. If too heavy thin it with a little cream until it becomes the consistency of normal cake frosting.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is good with yellow or white cake, jam cake, or spice cake. It will frost a two layer cake. If you need more icing double the recipe.
