Boiled Raisin Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Frosting


Ok, I am documenting this recipe.  I got both of them online, and they have worked the best for me.  I made some more tonight for the memorial service for Richard tomorrow.  I made them for his funeral, too, but couldn't remember what recipe I used.  

Creamy Brown Sugar Frosting

  • Author: Cookies & Cups


Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium low heat bring the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool completely.
  2. Transfer the brown sugar mixture into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the powdered sugar. Turn the mixer speed up to medium and continue mixing until creamy and combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Notes

This frosting is creamy and will pipe, but isn’t stiff enough to pipe roses. It also is a great “crusting” frosting.
Store airtight for up to 5 days in refrigerator. Bring back to room temperature before using.
