Chiffon Icing for Birthday Cake Carrie Sheridan image

this is so unusual, i've only found it once at a caterer's bakery - the texture is silky and smooth and tastes only slightly chocolate-y... as kids, we used to make a batch to just eat right out of the mixing bowl!

Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup milk
4 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons hershey's cocoa

Steps:

  • Mix together milk and flour in a small saucepan.
  • Cook until thick, stirring constantly.
  • Set aside to cool, covering the top with saran wrap.
  • Beat together the crisco, butter, sugar and vanilla.
  • Beat the first ingredients into the second until it is very light and fluffy - about 10 minutes!
  • Add Hershey's cocoa, one tablespoon at a time, to taste [not more than 1/4 cup].
  • Add more sugar, if desired.
  • Frost birthday cake with this and refrigerate for several hours to chill thoroughly.
  • Note: this frosting is best straight out of the refrigerator -- it does melt in warm weather -- but it's good No Matter WHAT!
