 Carolyn says:
This cake has been a favorite of my family for over 40 years. We do the frosting a little differently. The ingredients are the same, but we mix the 1st 4 ingredients, and put over low heat until butter (or substitute 1/2 cup shortening) is melted. The turn up heat and boil for one minute. Beat until consistent to spread. Add vanilla and spread over cake.
