Recipe: Caramel Icing for Vicki

Misc.

Your request was actually to me, but I'm sure BB could have helped, too. This is from the 1940 Culinary Arts Institute cookbook. Enjoy. (I guess we'll have to find a substitute for the 1 raw egg white listed -- or possibly face Salmonella-ville.)Caramel Icing
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/8 t. baking soda
3/4 cup cream
1 egg white

Combine sugars, soda and cream. Cook, stirring constantly to 238 degrees F. or until a small amount forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Cool to lukewarm without stirring. Beat until creamy, add unbeaten egg white and beat until thick enough to spread. Will frost 3 -- 8" layers.
