Brown Sugar Frosting

My husband's favorite icing for a chocolate cake! He loves this. Makes enough to cover one 13x9 cake in the pan. This should not be made ahead, so make sure the cake is cooled enough to frost before starting this recipe...

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 stick butter
1/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar

Place powdered sugar in mixing bowl.
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter. Heat, stirring to mix together. bring to a simmer and cook for two minutes to combine and dissolve sugar. Add the milk, stir to combine, remove from heat.

Pour brown sugar mixture into the powdered sugar in the mixer. Beat until smooth and creamy, ice cake while frosting is warm, as it will harden slightly upon cooling.
