Caramel Frosting for Angel Food Cake image

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!

Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
3 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the brown sugar.
  • Boil and stir for at least one minute.
  • Take the saucepan off the heat and add the milk.
  • With a hand mixer beat in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time until the spreading consistency is right for you.
  • It should not be a very thick consistency for angel food cake, because it will harden as it cools.
