OLD FASHIONED FROSTING
This is the best frosting Ive ever had, the recipe has been passed down through my family. Sometimes after the paste is refrigerated there may be tiny lumps in it. I just push it through a small sieve before adding it to the butter mixture. This recipe can easily be made into chocolate frosting by adding Hershey's cocoa. I usually double this recipe when making a cake. To do so, perform STEP ONE twice instead of just doubling the ingredients once. It will be perfect! Creamy, fluffy and not overly sweet!
