Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter (see footnote for recipe link)
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup milk
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (3 ounce) package cherry Jell-O®
½ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup white chocolate chips, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the Amish friendship bread starter, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Mix in the flour and cherry gelatin powder. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cups.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the vegetable shortening with butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, and add the vanilla extract. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, stopping often to scrape down the sides of the bowl; mix in the milk, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Spread on cooled cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Always use unsalted butter for the frosting, as salted butter can make the frosting too salty.
  • Let the butter and cream cheese come to room temperature before creaming them together. This will help the frosting to be smooth and creamy.
  • If you are using a stand mixer to make the frosting, start on low speed and gradually increase the speed to medium-high. This will help to prevent the frosting from splattering.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, one cup at a time. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • If you want a thinner frosting, add a little bit of milk or cream. If you want a thicker frosting, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Amish cake frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes and desserts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it thick or thin, sweet or tangy, Amish cake frosting is sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
