Notes

Frosting Options

  • Cream Cheese Frosting:  To make the frosting, beat 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup softened butter until fluffy.  Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Browned Butter Frosting:  Brown 1/4 cup of salted butter in a saucepan (here's how).  Stir in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.  Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, cream or half and half or until it's reached a nice drizzling consistency.
