I have been making this frosting for years. It came with a spice cake recipe, and it suits any occasion calling for a white icing. Heed the warnings about the raw egg, however.

Makes enough frosting for an 8 or 9 inch layer cake, or 24 cupcakes.
Step 3

Be sure to refrigerate any leftover frosting or frosted cakes because of the raw egg in the frosting.
