There are two that come to mind at the moment. Chocolate is, of course, a favorite, but ooh la la! How delicious is a yellow cake topped with CARAMEL icing? We used to beg Mama to make this for us! I recently made a caramel cake at the request of my sisters and used this caramel icing recipe... 5Stars!
Caramel Icing, Elsie
1 box brown sugar (16 oz)
½ cup margarine or butter
1 can evaporated milk (5 ½ oz)
1 tsp baking powder
Mix sugar, butter and milk. Bring to boil. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat, adding baking powder. Beat to spreading consistency (note that this may take a few minutes so be patient!)
Chocolate Icing, Elsie
1 ½ cup sugar
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 Tbsp Crisco
2 Tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp Karo syrup
7 Tbsp milk
½ c nuts (optional)
Put all ingredients in pan except nuts. Stir constantly. Let come to boil and boil ½ to 1 minute. Beat slightly. Add nuts if desired. Spread on cake.
