Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

Just wondering if there is really no sweetener in the glaze?

I rechecked the original recipe and it does not call for sweetener. I have not made this cake, just always enjoyed it when others did. It was more of a glaze than a frosting. I will make it and find out.
