caramel frosting

Tawny cake coating

Caramel frosting is a sweet topping for cakes and other baked goods made by combining caramelized sugar with butter, cream, and sometimes vanilla.

The result is rich and buttery with deep toffee notes, darker and more complex than vanilla buttercream: She spread caramel frosting over the spice cake.
