Vanilla Frosting

• 1/4 cup soft or melted margarine
• Good dash salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups powdered sugar

In a medium sized bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix and mix until all is smooth. Spread upon a 9 by 13-inch cake and serve. This is a very simple frosting which is put to it’s best advantage on spicy cakes, like Old Fashioned Gingerbread or Cinnamon Oatmeal Cake. It is also quite tasty on plain cookies like Quick Sugar Cookies. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled, and can also be tinted with food coloring for cool holiday effects.
