This sweet treat from the Home Cooking vintage recipe book is easy and delicious! Whip it up and let me know how much you enjoyed it.

This recipe calls for oleo. If you’re not sure what that is, I go into detail over on What is Oleo?, but to put it simply – it’s margarine. I suggest just using butter. Butter is better, in my humble opinion.

The icing portion calls for “1 box powdered sugar”. This should be approximately 1lb (16 ounces), so it should be just over 3 1/2 cups.

Enjoy and Happy cooking! 💋
