This frosting recipe was the one my Grandma used on top of her oatmeal cake, spice cake, and banana nut cake. I also like it on a yellow or white cake. You do have to use at once because this does stiffen as it cools.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cups milk
- 6 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions

Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Beat 3 cups confectioners' sugar and salt into the butter mixture with an electric mixer on low speed. Add remaining confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, beating until smooth.

Delicious and warm, wake up and smell the coffee cake. I love this Polish cream cheese coffee cake recipe, although it is a bit time consuming.
Lemon Curd Bars with Coconut
This bar has the two crusts as requested, and has a strong tangy lemon taste, so much better than most of the lemon bar recipes out there due to the lemon curd and added coconut!
Capirotada (Mexican Dessert)
Capirotada is a traditional Mexican dessert similar to bread pudding. This dish is cooked by my mother during the holidays and mostly during Lent season.
