What is a recipe for whipped cream cake icing?

The ingredients in whipped cream icing, also called whipped cream frosting, are vegetable shortening, softened butter, powdered sugar, heavy or whipping cream and clear vanilla. Total preparation time for a single batch of whipped cream frosting is about 25 minutes.

To make a single batch of whipped cream frosting, cream 2/3 cup of vegetable shortening with 1/3 cup of softened butter. While the butter and shortening are creamed, add 1 pound of sifted powdered sugar to the mixture, and blend completely. Slowly add in the cream and vanilla, and beat the mixture on high for five minutes. Refrigerate the mixture; it can stay refrigerated for several weeks.

An alternative to whipped cream frosting is a "fake" whipped cream frosting that is made without the cream. To prepare three cups of fake whipped cream frosting, cream 1 cup sugar and 1 cup butter in a mixer for 10 minutes. Note that if a stand mixer is used, then the butter and sugar need only be creamed for five minutes. Stir 1 cup milk and 3 tablespoons of flour together in a saucepan, and cook until thickened. Cool the sauce, and then mix with the butter-sugar blend and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
