Brown Sugar Frosting
With its creamy caramel flavor, you'll find lots of uses for this frosting.

a.. 1 lb. Light brown sugar (16-ounce package or about 2-1/4 cups plus 2
teaspoons
b.. ½ C Butter
c.. 5 oz. Evaporated milk (1 small can)
d.. Dash of salt
e.. ½ t Baking powder
f.. ½ t Vanilla extract
In a heavy saucepan, bring to a boil the brown sugar, butter, milk and salt,
stirring frequently (see Notes, below. Once you have a full, rolling boil,
cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat, and add the baking powder and vanilla.

Beat, right in the saucepan, with a portable electric mixer, for 6 or 7
minutes, or until thickened. Working quickly, drizzle the frosting over the
cake. Makes about 2 cups.

Enjoy:
