• Cover the bowl with saran wrap quickly, making sure it's directly touching the surface to prevent any "skin" formation.
• Place this bowl in the fridge and let it cool down completely until it has the consistency of a pudding.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and shortening.
• Add the flour mixture and vanilla extract, while constantly mixing.
• Add powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time) and continue mixing, until you have the desired consistency and flavor. This step is optional

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.

BEST FROSTING - PIONEER WOMAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Bake your favorite chocolate cake and let it cool. In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. You want it to be very thick, thicker than cake mix, more like a brownie mix is. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. (If I'm in a hurry, I place the saucepan over ice in the sink for about 10 minutes or so until the mixture cools.) It must be completely cool before you use it in the next step. Stir in vanilla. While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You don't want any sugar graininess left. Then add the completely cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat the living daylights out of it. If it looks separated, you haven't beaten it enough! Beat it until it all combines and resembles whipped cream. Grab a spoon and taste this wonderful goodness. If there is any left after your taste test, spread it on a cooled chocolate cake. Cut yourself a piece and put it on a pretty plate. Grab a fork and prepare to experience the most divine pairing you can imagine. This frosting on chocolate cake is to die for. Sure, the recipe sounds strange - it has flour in it - but it's sublime. Try it, you'll see. You'll love it so much you won't go back.
