OH MY YUMMINESS! I didn't have all my usual ingredients for frosting, so I played with what I have... and found a new favorite. I'm gonna have to try this with Applesauce cake or Carrot cake.
1/2 c Shortening (or butter)
1 t Vanilla extract*
2 c Sifted confectioners' sugar
1 T Milk (cow, nut, rice)
1 T Apple butter
1 t Cinnamon
* I used a butter flavored extract because I ran out of vanilla on the cupcakes - and it tasted wonderful.
Whip together all ingredients with a blender for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. This was enough for cupcakes or a 9 X 13. For a layered cake make another 1/2 recipe or double it.
It is 10:15 pm and I just read/scanned through the recipes (zucchini pancakes!) and I am starving now - think I'll go have a bowl of Special K - I am not going to start baking now!!! Love this blog!
