Does anybody out there have a recipe for a never-fail blow you away cooked caramel icing? I am not opposed to working for a quality finished icing. I am making a fresh apple cake that the recipe calls to be only glazed, my instincts tell me that a really good caramel icing, not too thickly applied, would be perfect!!
This is a recipe I use on my apple cake, I like it.
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups icing sugar
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat add sugar and cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Add milk slowly and bring to a boil, let boil stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in icing sugar, stir until mixture has reached spreading consistency adding more sugar if necessary. While frosting is still warm spread on cooled cake.
I also sometimes make a cream cheese icing that is very good on an apple cake.
I add pecans to my caramel icing it gives it a nice crunch.
The given recipe for the caramel icing sounds perfect to me. I have made this many times. On apple cake it should be incredibly delicious. Fall is in the air, isn't it?
