This is the most wonderful cake. I just made one last sat for my aunt whom turned 86. My husbands sister used to make one for him every year for his bday. Now I do as she has passed on. I just make a what I call a drizzle frosting for it out of powdered sugar,milk, tsp butter softened. and mix and drizzle over. No certain amounts, just start with 1 cup powdered sugar , add butter then milk to the consistency needed. If u want add a half tsp vanilla.
