This recipe is for frosting cakes with. I also use is as a base for cake filling, and then add the desired chopped fresh fruit, usually strawberries.
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup shortening
3 pounds confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
If the thought of eating that much LARD makes you want to yak like it does me, you can sub butter for part or all of the shortening. Keep in mind that butter is much more vulnerable to temperatures than shortening. So if this cake is going to be sitting out for very long, it's best to stick with the original recipe.
