5-Minute Brown Sugar Glaze for Cakes & More
Four ingredients and five minutes stand between you and the most incredible brown sugar glaze of your life. It's rich, caramel-y, and hardens as it cools into a thick glossy finish that looks like it came from a fancy bakery. Spoiler, it didn't.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, unsalted
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, sub light brown
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp cream
Instructions
- Add 1/4 cup butter to a small saucepan over medium heat.
- When melted add in the 1/2 cup brown sugar, and stir until melted. Make sure the brown sugar is melted before continuing or it can make the glaze grainy.
- Add in the 1 cup powdered sugar and take off the heat.
- Add in 2 tbsp cream and whisk to create a thick glaze.
- Immediately pour over cake or cookies like gingerbread biscotti cookies.
Notes
This glaze hardens quickly, so only make it if you are ready to pour it over the cake. The cake should be cool before glazing. This glaze is especially delicious over gingerbread biscotti or a carrot bundt cake.
Storing and freezing
Storing and freezing is not recommended as this glaze hardens quickly. There's no need to refrigerate.
