This frosting is wonderful on devil's food cake or red velvet cake. I first had it from a widow our family knew in Dunsmuir named Jessie Hull. She would make red velvet cake from scratch with this icing.
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup white shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash salt
Combine flour, the 1/3 cup sugar, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir out all lumps. Bring to a boil and cook until thick. Remove from heat, cool mixture, then add margarine, shortening, remaining sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until fluffy. Ice or fill cupcakes with frosting--Will fill 24 to 30 cupcakes.
