¼ cup butter

1 ½ cups powdered sugar

¼ cup heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

    • Allow the cake to cool slightly.

  4. Make the Frosting:

    • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until combined.

    • Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
