Here’s an old recipe clipped from a newspaper that is a promo piece for Jack Frost Confectioners Sugar, date unknown. Recipe is typed below along with a scanned copy.
JIFFY CHOCOLATE FROSTING
(Covers loaf cake*)
3 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups sifted Jack Frost Confectioners XXXX Sugar (about)
2 tablespoons hot water
1 egg
4 tablespoons softened butter
Dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
- Melt chocolate over hot water.
- Add sifted Jack Frost Confectioners XXXX Sugar and hot water. Mix thoroughly. It’s the amazing fineness of Jack Frost XXXX Sugar that gives frosting such delightful satiny smoothness.
- Add egg. Beat well.
- Add butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, and beat after each addition, until smooth.
- Add salt and vanilla.
- Spread on warm cake. Let stand until set.
- This is a delicious soft frosting. If a firmer frosting is desired, add more sifted Jack Frost Confectioners XXXX Sugar.
