Yum thanks! -
I put this on a cake I made for a potluck and the frosting got rave reviews! I was a little nervous about a whole Tbl of vanilla so used 2t and added a little milk. And eliminated the nuts. But the frosting itself was fabulous! I had lots of fun licking the bowl and beaters! -
This was absolutely wonderful!! Almost tasted like divinity. I think I could eat this by itself.

I was going to post this exact recipe, but was happy to see it already here! This is my favorite frosting for pumpkin cake. Its also really good on cinnamon-swirl, spice, carrot, MAPLE cakes (although I haven't used it on one yet, the idea just came to me and it sounds so good) etc..

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
