For best results, ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease. The dark brown sugar lends a wonderful molasses flavor, but you can substitute light brown sugar for a milder taste. This frosting is best used immediately, as it can deflate over time. If you don't have a double boiler, a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water works just as well.
