FAVORITE ICING

Sift together dry ingredients. Add oil, coffee and milk; mix at medium speed for two minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat two more minutes. (Batter will be thin.) Pour into two greased and floured 9in. cake pans. Bake at 325' for 25-30 minutes. Cool cakes for 15 minutes before removing from pans. Cool on racks.

Favorite Icing: Cook milk and flour in a saucepan until thick. Cover and refrigerate. (I make this before I start the cake) In a mixing bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add chilled milk/ flour mixture and beat for 10 minutes. (Really?!) Frost cooled cake and enjoy.
