Time 25m

Yield 2 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
4 tablespoons butter, cut in pieces

Steps:

  • Place in saucepan over med heat; let it melt. Cook until a ring of little bubbles appears around the edge of melted sugar/butter mixture.
  • Whisk in ½ cup heavy cream. Cook until bubbles reappear. Remove from heat.
  • Add 1 tsp vanilla.
  • Pour into mixer bowl. Add 1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar. Beat at medium speed until combined; add ½ stick butter cut in pieces, beat until smooth and color is lighter. Frosting will still be a little warm.
  • Place 3/4 cup frosting on top of bottom layer. Add 2nd layer and frost with remaining icing. Do this quickly so it doesn't set up before you finish spreading.
