Buttercream Black And White Icing Cake

Excellent recipe dense but very soft cake.

Buttercream black and white icing cake.

Black cocoa powder can turn into a glossy black buttercream frosting perfect for decorating cakes and giving them an eye catching look. So far i have used it on cupcakes and a cake and i am in love. When i first started cake decorating i thought that using only black color gel would get a beautiful black buttercream. This creamy white cake with buttercream frosting is a really moist cake with a delicious buttercream frosting.

Seriously making black buttercream frosting is difficult. Also the oven should be pre heated. When you add the black cocoa to your frosting it starts out as a deep brown. You need to make sure your butter is fully softened before adding the powdered sugar to the butter so that the sugar will dissolve into the butter when you are mixing it.

You should not be able to detect any texture from the powdered sugar after your frosting is made. There is nothing better than a good buttercream frosting to top. Add 2 teaspoons of liquid light corn syrup milk or water for each cup of buttercream frosting. Thin consistency is best for cake frosting as well as piping lines and letters.

The icing will be white if you use white butter clear vanilla. For pure white frosting add up to 4 tablespoons of liquid. If the frosting is too thin add more powdered sugar 1 4 cup at a time. I originally wanted to have a filling between the layers but i wasn t able to find decent raspberries so i made this cake with layers of buttercream which i love.

When added to frosting and exposed to the air it turns a deep jet black. So glad you like my white cake and the vanilla buttercream frosting. Wrong i have used an entire container black color gel actually a few containers and still ended up with grey buttercream the more color you add the more you sacrifice taste only to have grey buttercream. Not only is it a beautiful deep black color but the flavor is incredible.

Tips to make the best black and white cake. Mix cake mix pudding and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Add oil and water mixing with a hand mixer until combined. If you are making a buttercream intended for writing use light corn syrup as your liquid.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using the recipe below you ll have a bowl full of icing thick enough to hold its shape if piped yet soft enough to maintain that classic buttercream texture. Ingredients should be at room temperature before you start baking.
