It's hard to improve on the classic 7-minute frosting, but if you have an extra 3 minutes this one is worth it. It spreads on like whipped cream, but sets up nice and firm. And it tastes delicious, too.

1 1/2 cups COLD milk

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine in saucepan and cook on low-medium heat until thick, stirring all the while to prevent scorching. Remove from heat, and while it is cooling, make the following mixture:

1/2 cup shortening (do not substitute)

1/2 cup butter (do not substitute)

1 cup granulated sugar

Combine in large bowl and cream for 10 minutes with mixer. Don't cheat on the time, but if using a hand mixer, you can stop to rest the mixer occasionally.

Add the milk mixture to the creamed mixture. Add a pinch of salt and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Mix again with mixer until texture is fluffy, like whipped cream.

The icing will firm up as it dries, but you will have time to spread it before that happens. This will frost a 3-layer cake, but any remaining will keep in the refrigerator tightly covered for a few days. You will need to beat in some milk to make it spreadable again.
