The Best Frosting I've Ever Had image

Steps:

  • Bake your favorite chocolate cake (or whatever you want to frost!) and let it cool.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. (If I'm in a hurry, I place the saucepan over ice in the sink for about 10 minutes or so until the mixture cools.) Stir in vanilla.
  • While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat until it all combines and resembles whipped cream.
  • Grab a spoon and taste this wonderful goodness. If there is any left after your taste test, spread it on a cooled chocolate cake. Cut yourself a piece and put it on a pretty plate. Grab a fork and prepare to experience the most divine pairing you can imagine. This frosting on chocolate cake is to die for. Sure, the recipe sounds strange - it has flour in it - but it's sublime. Try it, you'll see. You'll love it so much you won't go back.

1 cup milk
5 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar (not Powdered Sugar!)
