Brea's Praline Cake / Apr 8, 02:01 PM
On Sunday I hung out with my next door neighbor Brea. She had a cake mix that she really wanted to make so we baked together. We faced a slight problem, though. We didn’t have any icing. Thankfully, my resourceful roommate looked up some make icing from scratch recipes (I forgot you could do that) and we made this awesome glaze/icing from butter, sugar, milk and vanilla. It just so happens that these are basically the same ingredients you use to make pralines. It tasted like we dumped a batch of pralines overtop of the white cake and it was marvelous.
Praline Icing
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
a splash of vanilla
Cook in a sauce pan until it thickens and pour it over the cake while it’s still warm.

Cooking is often so wonderfully simple that we forget people have been doing it forever. Other times we are so obviously out of our league that we don’t even try. I’m very pleased you weren’t afraid to go for it! Oh, and thanks for the update letter.
