ERMINE FROSTING



Ermine Frosting image

Light and creamy ermine frosting to compliment any cake. I use this instead of a cream cheese frosting on red velvet cake or cupcakes. The almond flavoring really compliments red velvet and offers an alternative if you're not fond of cream cheese frosting. It makes enough to frost 18+ cupcakes or a 3-layer cake.

Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup poppy seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 lemon, zested
1 pinch salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup Greek yogurt
½ cup whole milk
½ cup white sugar
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ cup unsalted butter
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in Greek yogurt. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture gradually, folding together until just combined. Spoon thick batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before transferring to a cake platter or plate to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the ermine frosting. Combine milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until sugar is dissolved, then add flour. Whisk until no lumps remain and the mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice. Let cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Beat butter and salt with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the milk-flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time, and beat on medium speed until well combined and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled poppy seed cake.

Tips:

  • Using a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar mixture is crucial for success.
  • Whisk the egg whites and sugar mixture constantly over a double boiler to prevent curdling.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the powdered sugar to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Gradually add the sugar mixture to the beaten egg whites while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
  • Chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes before using to allow it to set and firm up.
  • For a thicker frosting, reduce the amount of milk or cream used.
  • For a lighter and fluffier frosting, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form before adding the sugar mixture.
  • For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To add flavor variations, consider adding extracts such as vanilla, almond, or lemon, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Decorate cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts with the ermine frosting using a piping bag or spatula.
