Cooked Vanilla Frosting (and my favorite chocolate cake)
By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
This is a classic recipe for a vanilla frosting that is made with (of all things) a roux of cooked milk and flour
- For the cake:
- 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur Flour unbleached flour)
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup black coffee, cooled (I used a dark roast coffee. You can't taste the coffee, but the chocolate is deeper in flavor and richness with this ingredient
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 Tbsp lemon juice with milk to equal 1 cup; or 1 Tbsp vinegar with milk to equal 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the cooked vanilla frosting:
- 5 Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur brand)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1-2 tsp vanilla
- NOTE: I doubled these ingredients to be sure I had enough to frost a cake.
