Icing for the cake:
For the icing: Cream together 1 lb confectioners sugar and 1/2 stick butter (softened.) Add 1/4 tsp salt, 3 T scalding cream and enough very hot strong coffee to make spreadable consistency. Add 1/2 c chopped raisins for the middle of the cake if desired.

Sometimes I make double the recipe since most people like more frosting.
