Caramel Frosting

This recipe was given to me more than 30 years ago by a dear, sweet lady named Blanche Campbell. She was a charter member of High Street Baptist Church and was the mother of Tootie Britton and the grandmother of Nancy Wade, Patsy Powell, Rick Britton, Scott Mills, and Marc Mills.

1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Tbsp. flour (mix with sugar)
Add 1/2 pt. whipping cream. Let come to hard boil. Boil 5 min. Add 1 lump butter (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.) and 1 tsp. vanilla.
Cool--Beat until it will spread. It is delicious.

Chocolate Frosting

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe many, many years ago. She just called it Chocolate Frosting, but it has coffee in it. I would probably call it Mocha. I do not drink coffee, as I never learned to like the taste of it, but I absolutely love this frosting. It is wonderful on a chocolate cake.

3 Tbsp. cocoa
3 Tbsp. hot coffee
3 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
about 2 cups powdered sugar
