CHOCOLATE FROSTING
- 1 pkg. powdered sugar
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/3 c. very soft butter or margarine
- 1/3 c. milk (I use a little hot coffee and reduce milk)
- 2 t. vanilla
- 1/3 c. cocoa
Combine all ingredients and beat I minute with electric mixer or 2 to 4 minutes by hand with heavy spoon. Makes 1 3/4 cups or enough for an 8″ layer cake.
For lemon or orange frosting, follow basic recipe above but omit the cocoa and vanilla. Substitute 1/3 c. lemon juice for milk. Add I t. lemon rind. Try it with orange for a change.
