COOKED FROSTING



Cooked Frosting image

This delicious cooked frosting recipe was given to me by a co-worker, Judy Larson who also enjoys cooking and baking. You will never ever buy a plastic tub of frosting again!

COOKED FROSTING (FLOUR FROSTING)



Cooked Frosting (flour frosting) image

A friend I know is known for her famous red velvet cake. She shared with me her secret recipe for her frosting. I am not a fan of frosting, but this one is an exception! It is creamy and wonderful! Good on most anything baked or just right off of your fingers!

Provided by Deb Crane

Categories     Other Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c milk
3 Tbsp flour
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 stick unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. In a sauce pan, combine the flour and milk. Stirring constantly over medium heat, blend and stir until very thick. This is going to take some time. Do it slowly so it does not boil or even bubble. It should be thick enough that in mounds in the middle. A bit thicker then pudding consistency. Allow this to cool on its own. Do not refrigerate! Cool it till you can hold the pan. (room temperature)
  • 2. While waiting for the flour/milk to cool, get out your Kitchen Aid. You can use a hand mixer, but you will be blending for at least 10 minutes so be prepared to get an arm work out! In the Kitchen aid, add sugar, vanilla and butter. Whip it for a good 10 minutes until there is not a trace of graininess of the sugar. If you are unsure, blend it some more. You want this velvet smooth.
  • 3. When milk/flour mixture is cooled off, add to the Kitchen aid with the sugar mixture. Again, you are going to whip this.... whip it good! Let it whip on high, scraping as needed, for a good 10-15 minutes. It will be the fluffiest, creamiest frosting ever!
  • 4. Perfect for Red Velvet cake, or any cup cake or cake needing an excellent white frosting. NOTE: If you frost a cake and then put it in the refrigerator, be aware that this frosting will harden just a bit. No worries, just take out the cake about 15 minutes before slicing.

COOKED VANILLA FROSTING (AND MY FAVORITE CHOCOLATE CAKE) RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Cooked Vanilla Frosting (and my favorite chocolate cake) Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the cake:
1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur Flour unbleached flour)
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup black coffee, cooled (I used a dark roast coffee. You can't taste the coffee, but the chocolate is deeper in flavor and richness with this ingredient
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 Tbsp lemon juice with milk to equal 1 cup; or 1 Tbsp vinegar with milk to equal 1 cup)
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cooked vanilla frosting:
5 Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur brand)
1 cup milk
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1-2 tsp vanilla
NOTE: I doubled these ingredients to be sure I had enough to frost a cake.

Steps:

  • For the cake: Prepare 2 9-inch cake pans (I always line mine with parchment paper and then use a non-stick baking spray with flour. Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, & salt in a large bowl or in bowl of stand mixer. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, & vanilla. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. (Batter will be thin.) Divide evenly into cake pans (this cake makes a great sheet cake or cupcakes). Bake for 20 minutes (for cupcakes) or 27 minutes (approx) for a baking pan at 350°F or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely and frost. FOR THE FROSTING: Whisk together in a saucepan the flour and milk. Cook over medium heat until starting to thicken and cook for a minute or two more-- don't let it get too thick or it will be too stiff when it cools. (The roux has to boil for a little bit for the flour to cook and lose its starchy flavor.) Pour into a wide bowl and allow to cool, stirring now and again. If the roux is lumpy when it cools, just press it through a fine sieve. Beat together a cup of unsalted butter and a cup of granulated sugar until light (you really need an electric hand mixer or stand mixer for this). Beat in the cooled roux about two tablespoons at a time. As you beat and add the roux, the frosting turns creamy (6-8 minutes) instead of grainy from the sugar -- almost like "magic"! Add 1-2 tsp vanilla and beat some more until it's light and creamy. TIP: Don't chill the roux in the fridge or it will be too hard to beat stuff into.
