SIMPLE CAKE FILLING



Simple Cake Filling image

My Grandmother has been using this for years! For those of you who love to bake a quick 2 layer cake, this filling is a must & goes great with fruit too! **NOTE** I recently used this filling for my son's 4th Birthday Cake (Pictured the Krabby Patty Cake in the photos) I used Jello's Brand Banana Cream Pudding and instead of adding 1 tsp of the Vanilla extr. I used 1 tsp of Coconut Extract. I put sliced Strawberries on top of that and it truly was a great tropical type of flavor! I also did the bottom tier with reg. Choco. Pudding and then sliced bananas on that. You can truly use so many types of Flavors. I did like the Banana w.Coconut flavor though! Yum!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and dairy products will give your cake filling the best flavor. If you're using canned or frozen fruit, be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the filling: Overcooked filling will be thick and gloppy. Cook it just until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Let the filling cool completely before using: This will help to prevent the filling from making the cake soggy.
  • If you're using a custard-based filling, be sure to temper the eggs: This means slowly whisking the hot liquid into the eggs to prevent them from curdling.
  • Feel free to get creative with your fillings: You can use any combination of fruits, nuts, chocolate, or other ingredients to create a unique and delicious filling.

Conclusion:

No matter what kind of cake you're making, there's a perfect filling out there to complement it. With a little creativity and experimentation, you can create a cake that's both beautiful and delicious.
