This is a great recipe, and I use it quite frequently. I add about 1/2t of vanilla and it is reminiscent of of my grandmothers caramel cakes. Oh, so good! -
The easiest caramel frosting I've ever made. It has a lighter fluffier texture than traditional cooked caramel icing and it's easier to get on the cake. Will use this recipe again. -
This was the recipe my mother (now deceased) always used for our birthday cakes (from the 1950's!!). It is a family favorite!! -
I made this frosting to go on Cinnamon-Apple Bars #154741....really delicious! I halved the recipe for a 9x13 pan. I'll be making this again! -
Very nice frosting! We just loved it. So creamy and good. Thanks for posting this recipe.
