I'm so new at this, I saw yesterday a recipe for RI that was crisp on top but soft under the icing...could someone direct me to that recipe. My brain must not be with it today because I can't find it anywhere and I can't remember whose recipe it was

It was probably Antonia74's icing recipe. It's wonderful!!
