Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the butter is fully melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Allow the frosting to cool slightly before spreading it onto your cake. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 6
Spread the frosting evenly over your cake using a spatula while it is still warm for smooth application.
