A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.


This icing starts out by making a custard from cornstarch, sugar, milk, and egg. The mixture is chilled and mixed with butter and powdered sugar until it is spreadable.


1/3 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 pound butter
1 cup powdered sugar
Mix the cornstarch and sugar. Add milk and egg yolk. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Chill until COLD. Cream the butter and powdered sugar. Add cold custard. Beat 2-3 minutes until spreadable.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

The custard needs to be very thick and very cold before making the icing. Good recipe.
