Caramel Icing.

I got this one from a friends' mom in the Mississippi Delta. It makes a perfect caramel cake.

Caramel Icing


1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk

1 cup light brown sugar (light)

1 stick butter, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

Heat first 4 ingredients until disolved.  Bring to a rolling boil; cook for one minute.  Take off heat, add vanilla and beat until right consistency to spread.  If mixture becomes too thick for spreading, add a small amount of milk-being careful not to add too much at a time.
