Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the butter is fully melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, continuing to stir frequently to prevent burning. Let it boil for about 5 minutes, or until the frosting thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the frosting to cool slightly before spreading it onto your cake. It will thicken as it cools.
Spread the frosting evenly over your cake using a spatula while it is still warm for smooth application.
