I asked my mom to share some of her old recipes from her "black book" with me when I was writing my first cookbook. Sharon's Boiled Cake Icing is what she gave me.

I remember her making this cake icing when I was a kid. This frosting has a consistency, unlike any icing you will find in a grocery store.

Not that there is anything wrong with store bought icing. There's just something about homemade cake icing that tastes better.

This cake icing recipe is no different. And since it is boiled, the consistency is out of this world. Almost like a meringue or melted marshmallow.

I can't even tell you how many different flavors of cakes I've used this frosting on. It's absolutely sinful on Chocolate Cake but just as good on Vanilla, Spice or another flavored cake.
