frosting, icing, it is not a waste of butter and sugar, uk

If I knew you were wanking, I'd have iced a cake
Over in hp_britglish, schemingreader makes the mistake of asking what the stuff you spread on top of a cake is called. Hint: It ain't "frosting".

oncelikeshari thinks that butter icing is evil and wrong and should be stopped, or that it doesn't exist. I'm not entirely sure.

Either way, I want cake. :(

Short, but sweet.

And frostings:

Coconut Frosting

The original version of this recipe was originally from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (published around 1962). I've altered it to use sweetened condensed milk (since I usually have that on hand and not evaporated) and swapped the pecans for hazelnuts.

This recipe makes enough frosting for one 13X9X2" rectangular or two 9" round cakes.

14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (or one can evaporated milk and 1 1/3 cups sugar)
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 2/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped hazelnuts (or pecans)

In a heavy saucepan or double boiler, combine milk, butter, and eggs. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thickened; about 12 minutes. Cool slightly. Blend in vanilla, coconut, and nuts. Cool to room temperature before using.

Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting

1 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

1. Cream butter and peanut butter together.
2. Add half the powdered sugar and blend.
3. Blend in milk and vanilla.
4. Add remaining powdered sugar.
5. Stir until smooth and well blended.
