FROSTING
1 lb Powdered sugar
1/2 c Shortening
1/2 c Peanut butter
1 ts Vanilla
1 Egg white
Milk; (enough to make a
; creamy frosting)
Cream sugar, shortening, and 1 egg (save second egg for frosting). Add
baking soda and milk. Then add dry ingredients, cocoa and flour. Add
vanilla and boiling water. Beat on medium speed for 2 min. Bake at 375
degrees for 30 min.
Frosting:.
Put powdered sugar, shortening, peanut butter, vanilla, and egg white
in a bowl. You can mix by hand or by mixer on medium speed. As you
start mixing, start adding milk a little at a time. When your
frosting is creamy but not too stiff, your frosting is done.
Spread on cooled cake. If cake is still warm to touch, don’t put
frosting on because it will warm up the frosting and start sliding
off the cake.
Sure hope you all enjoy this as much as we do.
