Just checked my frosting recipe; it is a bit different than Laura's so I'm going to go ahead and post it. Our favorite way to eat it??? Sandwiched between 2 graham crackers! My kids like that even better than cake!
1 lb. powdered sugar (4-3/4 c. for those who buy it in 2 lb. bags)
1/2 c. dry cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
6 T. boiling water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. softened butter/margarine
Combine all ingredients and mix well. This stuff will last awhile in the fridge and also freezes well. :-)
