Are you looking for a creamy, spreadable frosting suitable for a layer cake, or a pourable frosting that firms up and is suitable for a pound cake?  If the latter, this is my grandmother's recipe, though it must be poured onto a pound cake baked in a bundt pan so that frosting puddles up in the middle:

 

Mix 2 c. white sugar, 1 c. buttermilk and 1 t. soda and cook over med. high heat, stirring constantly.  Take off heat when it reaches soft ball stage or pretty close.  While it is hot, add one stick of butter.  Beat until of spreading consistency, essentially until it loses its gloss a bit.  Pour over cooled cake.  If you didn't beat it very long, it will be thinner, but you can put several layers on.  It will be fine.
