Combine Ingredients:
In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and oleo. Place the saucepan over medium heat. -
Cook and Stir:
Cook and stir the mixture continuously over medium heat until it thickens, which usually takes about 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning and ensure a smooth consistency. -
Add Nuts and Coconut:
Once the mixture has thickened to the desired consistency, add in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut. Stir well to incorporate them evenly into the frosting. -
Beat Until Cool and Thick:
After adding the nuts and coconut, continue to beat the frosting until it cools down and thickens enough to spread smoothly over your cake. This step might take a few minutes, but the result will be worth it! -
Spread Over Clabber Cake:
Once the frosting reaches the desired thickness and texture, it’s ready to be spread over your Clabber Cake, enhancing its flavor with its creamy sweetness. Refer to the “Clabber Cake” recipe #42165 for baking instructions.
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures as this luscious frosting elevates the taste of your Clabber Cake to new heights! 🎂✨
