• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 3 enough for one 3-layer cake or 3 dozen cupcakes

ingredients

• 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 5 cups sifted powdered sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter (on medium speed) until smooth.
2. Add in the sugars; beat on low for 2 minutes.
3. Add in the milk, syrup, and vanilla; beat 3-5 minutes until smooth and creamy.
4. Use immediately or store, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days.
5. **Reportedly, the icing tastes better if made the day before because the brown sugar gives the icing a slightly grainy texture that improves if allowed to set overnight.

the graniness didnt seem to go away, even days afterwards. it wasn't unpleasant, but i would have preferred a creamier texture, i enjoyed the taste tho!
