If frozen, do not ice until thaw- ed and ready to serve. ICING: Mix all ingredients. Cook in heavy saucepan over low heat, being careful not to scorch. Let cook until mixture reaches spreading consistency. Cool. Spread between layers of cooled cake.

Punch small holes in top and sides of cake so icing can drizzle into cake.
