Brown Sugar Frosting

This frosting is best made fresh and used immediately while still warm and spreadable. It can be made up to 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface. Gently rewarm over low heat if it becomes too stiff to spread.

Store frosted cake or leftover frosting in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The frosting will firm up considerably when cool. To restore spreadability, warm gently in a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until softened.
