Easy Penuche Icing

Frosts tops and sides of 2 (8-inch) cake layers.

¼ lb butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup milk
1-3/4 to 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar


Melt butter in saucepan, add brown sugar and boil, stirring, over low heat 2 minutes. Add milk and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool to lukewarm.

Gradually add confectioners’ sugar. Place pan in ice water and stir until icing is thick enough to spread.

This is especially good for spice cakes.
