Personal Notes:
This recipe is from a well worn cookbook that I bought from one of my home economics major friends when I lived at Dorm 12 at Auburn University. I think is was a fund raiser for some club. Over half a century later, it's in tatters and losing pages, but the recipes, which are all from scratch, still work. This one is the icing which goes on devil's food cake, one of my favorites.
