The shortening gives this frosting a nice, crisp exterior and a rich, buttery interior. When I saw this recipe on , I used it to frost Old Fashioned Spice Cake (#41292) and found that this recipe can frost two 13x9 cakes. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening (crisco recommended) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 -8 tablespoons water |
1 lb powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. With an electric mixer, mix shortening, vanilla extract, and salt thoroughly.
2. Add powdered sugar and 4 Tbsp water.
3. Beat for 5 minutes.
4. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, and beat very, very well until the frosting reaches desired consistency.
5. Taste (yum!) to ensure that the frosting is not gritty.
