QUICK MAPLE ICING
About 1 cup

This icing is quite sweet but very good on spice cakes.

Beat together in a medium bowl, or in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Add, beating until spreadable:

  • About ½ cup maple syrup
