Browned Butter Glaze

  • Brown the butter in a small saucepan
  • Combine browned butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond milk and whisk well to combine until it's smooth
  • Pour glaze over slightly cooled cake - the cake should still be warm when you put the glaze on it
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

** 3 cups will yield a thinner glaze, and 4 cups will yield a thicker more frosting like glaze.
