GF spice cake.

I made a GF/DF spice cake from Full Circle - which turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself. :)  The best part for me though was the frosting that I made from scratch! I always thought frosting where really hard, so I have avoided that part of the Betty Crocker cookbook.  But I was craving something sweet, and spice cake does not taste good without frosting or whip cream, in my opinion.  The frosting turned out great, but really sweet, so be careful.  I am posting the recipe as well too.  It sure won't help me in getting my girlish figure back since having Gordon, but I think a treat is always a good thing, especially for a new momma.

Enjoy!

Vanilla Butter Frosting by Betty Crocker
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter softened.
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk

Mix powdered sugar and margarine/butter.  Stir in vanilla and milk; beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.     Fills & Frosts two 8 or 9 inch layers or frosts a 13x9 inch cake.
