Growing up, my aunt's chocolate frosting was the best part of my birthday. This frosting was a thick, solid and creamy deliciousness that sometimes would need to be slabbed onto the cake.
But when I was having a frosting craving last week, I decided to make something different. I didn't have anything specific in mind, so decided on a whipped style frosting. It was totally different than my family recipe (and truthfully, I like my families better for cakes). But if I were ever to make a red velvet cake or need a really creamy, light, almost cool whip like texture, this will be the way to go.
Thanks to Tasty Kitchen for the recipe.
Whipped Cream Vanilla Frosting
5 TBS flour
1 Cup milk
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup butter
Heat your milk and flour on the medium heat, whisking constantly for a few minutes until it becomes very thick. Keep whisking! It will completely change texture after a few minutes.
Cool the mixture completely. Completely!
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the cooled flour/milk mixture.
Pour one cup of sugar into a bowl with one cup of butter. Use a mixer to whip it around until it’s light and fluffy. Add the cooled flour/milk/vanilla mixture.
Mix it on medium-high until the mixture resembled whipped cream.
Done! Easy, delicious and no need for any type of cake to put it on. Eat from bowl.
