Use this icing to cover Peachtree Street Gingerbread Cake(Peachtree Street Gingerbread Cake)! This recipe comes from the Gone With The Wind Cook Book - Famous Southern Cooking Recipes . There is a note in the foreward which I love: Gone With The Wind told of a style of living. as well as a romantic drama, A way of living, playing, and eating that thrilled us all. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, firmly packed |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
1 1/2 cups milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Combine sugars and milk and bring to the boil, stirring gently.
2. Boil without stirring, until a little mixture forms a very soft ball when dropped in cold water.
3. Add butter, remove from heat and cool until lukewarm.
4. Beat at medium speed until thick, creamy, and of a consistency to spread.
5. If necessary, place over hot water to keep soft while spreading, or beat in a little milk.
6. This will fill and frost a 2-layer 9 inch cake.
