Butter Icing Recipe – Perfect on your Favorite Butter Cake Recipe

Blah Blah's Good Disclosure

Kozzi-lemon-gugelhupf-with-icing-sugar-886 X 586One of the best things my grandmother made when I was growing up was her fabulous Butter Cake with Butter Icing.  I was super excited when my mother decided to share all my grandmothers old recipes with me.  I mean it only took her 20 years to break down and share them with me.  So since she shared with me, I’m going to share them with you.  I sure do miss my Granny’s cooking.  No matter how hard my mom or I tries, nobody makes it better than Granny.

Adding butter icing to your cake works best if the cake is still warm, and you pock holes in the cake.  It allows the icing to sneak into the cake through the holes, making it more yummy.

The Butter Icing is great on top of your favorite Butter Cake. One thing to remember when making butter icing is not to allow it to boil when you're cooking it. It's very important to cool slowly and not boil.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup Water

Directions

Step 1
Grab a small or medium pan. Add your sugar, butter, water and vanilla and place on medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes until sugar dissolves. FYI you do not want to boil

    I have never tried a butter icing like this one. It is close to a simple syrup except for the butter and but you don’t boil it.
