SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is definitely the best frosting I've come across so far ... I boiled, as per recipe, and I must say that I have had too too many spoonfuls before I even got to ice the cake!
Yummmy :) Thanks to the original poster
It was my first time making frosting and it turned out great. I modified it a bit - didn't add any of the extracts and added some vanilla sugar. Oh yeah, about the sugar - I was so scared of the "1 lb" thingie that only added 2-3 tablespoons of it and the frosting was still a bit too sweet. Either way, I could eat it on its own - it's almost like melted chocolate I used to enjoy earlier :}.
My 1st thought was...oil...yuck. But i was looking for something quick and easy. I didnt boil and blended it together. I used more than 6 tablespoons of milk. It was really good though and super easy. I might put the sugar in my coffee grinder cause I could taste the sugar particles even after blending. I didn't use any extract. I also used under a cup of sugar and it was very sweet and I have a major sweet tooth. I am actually super hyper after eating this with chocoalte cake cause I havent had any processed sugar in months! I might be up all night :D
The easiest frosting recipe EVER vegan or not! I just mixed by hand and didn't boil. I added about 3 T peanut butter at the end mostly to stiffen it up a bit more.

I didn't boil the wet ingredients, I just mixed it all together and I must say, this is an awesome frosting recipe! I've tried lots of frosting recipes and the vegan versions are usually thin and runny, but this one was exactly like a store bought frosting. I did go ahead and use the suggested pound (4 cups) of powdered sugar, it worked great.
