Homemade White Frosting

If you are also making cakes this weekend (as I posted I am, below) then you'll be needing some frosting! Soooo many recipes for frosting. Isn't interesting that they almost all use basically the same ingredients, but give or take one or two and you have a completely different taste or texture?

Here is another vanilla frosting (or white frosting) to add to your collection as well.



White Frosting

1 c butter
1 c shortening
1/2 c milk
2 t vanilla extract
8 c powdered sugar
couple dashes of salt

Cream the butter and shortening together until smooth, about 12 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
