Choose Your Frosting (Try these Twists!) For Fresh Apple Cake
Browned-Butter Frosting
1 cup butter
1 (16-oz) package powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1. Cook butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, 6 to 8 minutes or until butter begins to turn golden brown. Remove pan from heat immediately, and pour butter into a small bowl. Cover and chill 1 hr or until butter is cool and begins to solidify.
2. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add powdered sugar alternately with milk, beginning and ending with powdered sugar. Beat mixture at low speed until well blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Dark Chocolate Frosting
1 (12-oz) pkg semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 TBS butter
1. Microwave semisweet chocolate morsels and whipping cream in a 2-qt microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM (50% power) 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or until chocolate begins to melt.
2. Whisk until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Whisk in butter; let stand 20 minutes. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture forms soft peaks. Use immediately.
Cream Cheese Frosting
(you already have that recipe)
Carmel Glaze
Bring 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/4 cup milk to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir 2 minutes; use immediately.
Streusel Topping
Pour 2 TBS melted butter in a small bowl, and stir in 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar, 2 TBS all-purpose flour, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Add 1 cup chopped pecans, stirring until mixture is crumbly.
So many decisions that look so yummy! Which one to choose!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI made the apple cake last night. It turned out really good and was easy too. I added more pecans to the top. We love nuts. Dad gave it a 4 1/2 and I give it a 4. The frosting made it really sweet. I would like to have tried the frostings that the recipe suggested but I was low on time.
ReplyDeleteDid you just use your regular frosting mom?
ReplyDeleteWell, this is one yummy cake. It was so good I sent it to work with Howard so I would not eat the WHOLD THING today. I put the streusel topping on it. I really doubt that i would like it with frosting. I rate it a 5, the rest of the family rated it a 4.5
ReplyDeleteYummy, yummy, yummy
