Personal Notes:
This recipe is from an ancient note card written by my grandmother. I had to dig into my archives for this. It’s probably on the back of every Bakers chocolate box, but this is the reliable frosting that my grandmother made that began my lifelong love affair with cake. She would frost a yellow cake made from scratch with this frosting. As she aged, the yellow cake got a little funny, but the frosting was always the best.
