My favorite butter Cream Frosting
Normally I’ll make this Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting to top my snickerdoodle cupcakes. The flavors pair perfectly together, we’ve had family members use this Graham Cracker snickerdoodle cake recipe and brown sugar buttercream frosting recipe as their wedding cake! It is that good. For the frosting all you need is:
1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 c. brown sugar
