This was exactly what I was looking for. My mother use to make a brown sugar frosting but I didn't know the exact ingredients or measurements. I only remember it didn't have powder sugar. I made this today and it was exactly what I remember.Thanks for the memories, Denise

Wow! I was really sceptical about the baking powder in it, but, it helps to firm it up a bit..But, sooo good. I added a little more vanilla too, but, I put this on fresh baked cinnamon rolls. My husband went crazy lol. Great recipe.

Is this a brown sugar icing that sets up kind of firm? My Mamaw made it and my sister learned it well. She was killed in a car wreck last October and her sons said they wanted it b for Thanksgiving. I'm hoping it may be this one. :)
