FLUFFY FROSTING



Fluffy Frosting image

This is an amazing fluffy, delicious frosting. It pipes out beautifully, and holds it's shape. The flavor tastes like marshmallow whipped cream. Be sure to whip the hot sugar syrup with the egg whites for a considerable amount of time, about 8-10 minutes (on a Kitchenaid stand mixer) for the best results. I'm sure this would be excellent on any flavor of cake, but it is fabulous on chocolate cake and probably be great on red velvet.

FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM "BAKERY-STYLE" FROSTING



Fluffy Buttercream

Frosting that is not-too-sweet, fluffy, and so spreadable. A "bakery-style" vanilla buttercream frosting that mixes together in minutes and holds its shape on any dessert like cakes or cupcakes.

Provided by Lisa Hatfield

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup salted butter ((2 sticks, room temperature))
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
5 cups powder sugar (confectioners sugar)
2 tablespoons hot water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Beat soft butter and shortening in an electric mixer on high speed with the whisk attachment until creamy for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • At low speed, add powder sugar 1 cup at a time until smooth into the mixing bowl.
  • On high speed, mix in vanilla, almond extract, and hot water for 5 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
  • Place a dollop of frosting on a small piece of cardboard or on a tray, and set the cake on top. This keeps the cake from sliding around while decorating.
  • Fill a large piping bag with frosting, set the bag in a tall sturdy glass measuring cup. Load it down inside the pastry bag with a spatula, when 3/4 full, push inside the bag toward the tip. Fold the top down and decorate your cake. Don't overfill or it will squeeze out of the top of the bag.
  • Frost the cake using a small offset spatula, smooth out as best you can all over the top and sides of the cake. This frosting is so easy to spread, and you don't have to clean your spatula while decorating. Then create beautiful designs using a piping bag fitted with tips.

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH PEPPERMINT FROSTING



Chocolate Cake With Peppermint Frosting image

Dutch-process cocoa and a bit of espresso powder give this simple one-bowl cake deep chocolate flavor without much effort. The generous swoop of fluffy peppermint buttercream frosting makes it a festive treat. A bit of optional red food coloring gives the frosting those classic peppermint candy stripes, and you can dress the cake up even more with sprinkles and shaved chocolate for a special occasion. The oil in the cake makes it extra moist, and it keeps well on the counter for a few days - if it lasts that long.

Provided by Yossy Arefi

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield One 8-by-8-inch square or 9-inch round cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup/105 grams grapeseed or other neutral oil, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 (8-ounce/227-gram) container sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3/4 cup/68 grams Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup/55 grams hot water
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 cups/200 grams sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons heavy cream or milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, plus more if desired
Pinch kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Red gel food coloring (optional)
Shaved chocolate and sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease an 8-by-8-inch square or 9-inch round light-colored metal baking pan with oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until foamy and slightly lighter in texture and color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, vanilla and salt, and whisk until combined and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder until combined. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Stir the espresso powder into the hot water, then add the mixture to the bowl. Whisk until incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake until puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan set on a rack for about 45 minutes.
  • While the cake bakes, clean the mixing bowl and make the frosting: Add the butter to the bowl and mix on medium-high with an electric mixer until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then add 2 teaspoons of the cream, the vanilla extract, 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and salt. Turn the speed up to medium-high, and whip until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes, adding a bit more cream a teaspoon at a time, if necessary, to make a smooth and light frosting. Taste the frosting, and add a few more drops of peppermint extract if desired. The frosting can be kept at room temperature while the cake finishes baking and cooling.
  • Top the cooled cake with an even layer of frosting, then use the tip of a toothpick to dot the frosting with a few small dots of gel food coloring, if using. Use a spoon or offset spatula to swirl the food coloring into the frosting to create candy cane-like stripes - just a few swipes will do the trick. If you mix it in too much, the frosting will turn pink. Top the cake with sprinkles and shaved chocolate, if desired. Store leftover cake loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.

  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring each time - stop when it's about 70% melted, and stir vigorously to melt the rest. In my microwave, it took a total of 2 1/2 minutes. (Alternatively, melt in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water - careful not to get a single drop of water in the bowl, or chocolate will seize). Allow chocolate to cool to room temperature.
  • Combine butter, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about a minute. Reduce speed to low and incorporate vanilla extract, whipping cream and cooled chocolate, then turn speed back up to medium and beat for about 2 minutes, until pale and very fluffy. Pipe (I used Wilton Large Open Star tip) or spread onto fully cooled cake or cupcakes.
  • Frosting may be made up to 48 hours in advance - refrigerate until needed, then bring back to room temperature and beat again for a minute or two before using. Frosted cake may be stored at room temperature for up to two days - if it'll take you longer to eat, god bless your willpower and store the cake in the fridge.
