Smooth Butterscotch Frosting

Thanks for sharing!

Smooth, sweet and creamy, this butterscotch frosting is easy to make and is a perfect topper to butter cake, chocolate cake, banana cake and more!

  I LOVE frosting.  As far as I am concerned, most of the time cake is mostly just an excuse for frosting.  I have had a particular crush for cooked frostings lately.  

There is something magic that happens when you cook milk and flour to a paste and then whip it into butter or cream cheese and make it into something so light and airy and so good.

     So I just knew I was going to love this caramel-y butterscotch frosting recipe Di sent.  I adjusted it slightly because I didn’t have any heavy cream and I wasn’t in the mood to go to the store.  It was still wonderful!

   Di sent this as the recommended topping for her now famous banana cake.  Since the banana cake requires a trip to the freezer, I just beat until the frosting is mixed but still warm.

    Then I pour the frosting on the cake fresh from the freezer.  You just pour and spread.  The frosting sets quickly on the frozen cake.

    Then set it aside and let it come to room temp.  You will never have a more moist and delicious banana cake in your life and the frosting is a perfect consistency too!

     If you are frosting a room temperature cake, just beat the frosting a little longer.  As it cools down it will become a spreadable consistency.

I mean, really.  Just give me a spoon… and a glass of milk… this frosting is a sweet one!
