Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Oh my. This is quite yummy! I made a pan of brownies that turned out to be a little on the dry side, but I had already planned on topping the brownies with this frosting.

Needless to say, the frosting saved the brownies!

The top rack, in my oven, was about 6 inches from the broiler, which gave the frosting a little more time to brown. I also had a few pieces of foil ready to place on the hot spots, so the frosting wouldn’t burn in those spots before the rest reached the proper color.

I will make this again, using a chocolate cake recipe, for sure!

Thanks for sharing,

Oh my word!!! This stuff is delicious! I love this recipe. It’s easy to make, fun to make and tastes wonderful! I served it to a group of 20 U.S. Marines and they went crazy for it! Thank you soooo much for sharing it with us. You made me look good!

I made a from scratch chocolate cake and did not have enough powdered sugar to make my regular “go to” icing for it. I got on Tasty Kitchen to see what I could make without powdered sugar and came across this. All I can say is, this is the best Peanut Butter frosting recipe, so easy to make, and tasted great even before putting it on the cake and broiling it! I agree, you have got to watch it, only takes a minute to bubble and brown so stay next to the oven with the door cracked and watch it closely. Thanks for a great recipe! Off to have a slice with a nice glass of milk…Mmmm!!
