Caramel Frosting For Angel Food Cake

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!!

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.

Ingredients

butter, brown sugar, milk, powdered sugar
