Grandma Schreck'S Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. cream (I use whipping cream)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Bring to boil cream and sugar to soft ball stage (248\u00b0). Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Beat until spreading consistency (I use electric mixer, but she used a wooden spoon). Spread on chocolate cake.
Work fast, because it sets up very quickly.
I double this recipe for a 9 x 13 cake because my family loves it.
I think I am the only one that has luck making it, and my grandchildren always request this cake.
