What wonderful frosting! I just made this and it is so delicious (maybe just a tiny bit too sweet for me ~ but I love it anyway) I made some nutmeg bars that turned out more like a sheet cake and found this frosting for it and it's perfect! I doubled the recipe since my "cake" was in a 9 by 13 by 2 pan ... I was in a bit of a hurry and forgot to add the vanilla and it still is great, if you like caramel this is the frosting for you!

Wow!!! I'm only 14, and I wanted to make my Mom a b-day cake and the frosting all by myself. I tried this recipe and not only was it good, but quick, it only took my about 10 minutes. This recipe is good espically on a yellow cake.

This was excellent! It's pretty thick once it cools - I might use it as the cream filling in a sandwich cookie.

so easy and delicious! I used this over "Green tomato cake" from this site. A huge hit. You don't even have to wait for the cake to completely cool before icing if it is in a sheet pan. The warm cake actually helped to spread the icing. This reminded me of the brown sugar fudge that my mom used to make when I was young.

This is an excellent frosting recipe. I like a frosting this is a little creamier, so I added appx. 3 tbsps. of marshmallow creme after all the ingredients were combined. To use the frosting on a bundt cake, I added a little more cream to make it of a consistency that it could be poured on the cake.

Great recipe and it tastes delicious on banana cake. I didn't have enough to frost the sides of my 10"x13" cake though. In the future I'll double the frosting recipe.

I loved that it was quick and easy. I used buttermilk and it was really good poured over my spice cake. Thanks for the recipe.

I used this to top the "Heaven & Hell" cake submitted by Magen Farrar. I added a little more cream and found the finished texture amazing - smooth, yet with a bit of a crunch! I'm going to try piping it next time, as spreading was a little troublesome. (LDP, England)

A really great frosting. I used half and half and it was excellent. I had to keep adding half and half to make it spreadable, but since it was so delicious, I didn't mind. :&)

I loved this recipe. It was easy to follow and turned out just like my granny used to make, taking up only half the time. I'd recommend it to anyone. Best wjen poured over cake rather than spreading. Using a plastic spreading spoon to smooth it on to the sides.

I poured the hot mixture in my mixing bowl & beat at frosting setting. Worked wonderfully. Did have to add just a tiny bit of liquid after adding the final powdered sugar.
