Oh dear, I just noticed it's been a whole year since last post. Will promise to do better. Most often, my NY resolutions are to give up something, but this will be an exception.
It was a great new year food fest again this year...including 2 cakes. I'm posting the penuche frosting recipe. I know this would be delish packed about an inch think and containing about 1/2 cut of walnuts. Wait until it cools, and eat it like fudge...but it was nice on that cake too. Well, here goes.
1 cup packed light brown sugar (I used half dark and half light)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1/4 cup whole milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1. Place the brown sugar and butter in a medium size heavy saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until well combined, 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the milk, stirring, and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
2. Place the confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot brown sugar mixture over the confectioners' sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes.
3. Use immediately to frost cake. If it hardens while spreading, place the pan back over low heat and stir until it softens.
Makes 3 cups
Enjoy.
