    Recipe Introduction


    This is a rich, creamy cooked icing that tastes like candy. Also known as Caramel Icing or Penuche, it's a good choice for cakes like the Boiled Raisin Cake because it's as sturdy as the cake itself.


    List of Ingredients




    2 cups packed brown sugar
    3/4 cup light cream
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Recipe



    In heavy saucepan, combine sugar and cream. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes to soft ball stage (238 degrees on candy thermometer or until mixture forms soft ball when dropped into cold water). Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla; beat just until spreadable but still shiny.

    Spread quickly over cake before icing hardens completely. (If icing does not turn creamy and thick, gradually add some sifted icing sugar until mixture is spreadable.)
