Fudge Icing

This recipe was originally given to me by my Mum with a date slice recipe.  I use it to top other cakes and slices too as it's easy to make and great if you don't have icing sugar in the pantry.

Ingredients:

• • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tsp butter

  • 2 tab milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

• 1. Place all ingredients into a small saucepan and stir to combine.

  2. Heat to boiling point and boil for 3 minutes without stirring.

  3. Remove from heat.

  4. Beat vigorously with a spoon until the mixture begins to thicken

  5. Quickly pour onto the cake or slice and spread.

Tips:

The topping will harden very quickly once it starts to thicken with beating so you must be ready to spread.
