Personal Notes:
This is a pre WWII recipe of our mom, Genevieve Patton Rubino. I think she got this from someone she worked with on the Ration Board. As kids, Terri and I loved this stuff. Mom would top a mayonnaise cake, that she did in the "tube" pan, with this white fluffy frosting.
Oh..the memories.
