FLOUR FROSTING (RED VELVET CAKE FROSTING)

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a saucepan until combined. Add the milk and cook over medium heat until it barely simmers (bubbles around the edge of the pan), whisking constantly. It will thicken slightly.
• Pour mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high until the outside of the bowl is cool to the touch (about 8-10 minutes).
• Reduce the speed to low and add the butter (and vanilla extract if you are using it). Once the butter is incorporated, turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and whip until the frosting is light and fluffy (about another 3-5 minutes), scraping down as needed.
• If you are tinting your frosting, add the coloring and continue to whip until the color is evenly distributed.
• Use immediately to frost a two-layer cake, or 24 cupcakes.

COOKED FROSTING (FLOUR FROSTING)

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.

GLUTEN FREE COCONUT FLOUR ORANGE CAKE WITH COCONUT OIL FROSTING RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Measure out coconut oil and place in an 8"x8" pan. Place the pan in the oven to melt the coconut oil. While the coconut oil is melting, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, honey, vanilla and orange zest together. Once the coconut oil is melted (probably around five minutes or less), remove the pan from the oven and let it cool while you mix in the rest of your ingredients. Combine coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Once your pan is cooled enough to handle, carefully swirl your coconut oil around your pan in order to grease all sides. Then pour the coconut oil into the batter and mix until all lumps are gone. Pour the batter into your greased pan and place on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until browned on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Place the cake on a cooling rack. After the cake has cooled a bit, but is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Juice the orange half right over the whole cake, making sure to evenly distribute the juice. FROSTING: Mix all ingredients into warm coconut oil. You are now going to place the bowl into the freezer in order to cool it down. It is very important to check on it every couple of minutes to catch it before it gets too cold. You want to take it out of the freezer right when it starts to get cloudy. At this point the cold bowl (and your cool kitchen) will continue to turn the liquid oil into a solid. Continue to whisk the frosting as it gets cloudier and cloudier and eventually turns into a whipped butter consistency. The idea is to get a bit of air into it. Once it is to a whipped (very soft) butter consistency plop it onto your cooled cake. Frost it very quickly before the coconut oil hardens. It will seem like a pretty thin frosting, but it is just enough.
