Summer calls for a more lighter and refreshing desserts. That's when I tried this frosting. For the vanilla butter cake, refer to 'Sponge cake' recipe. I just wanted to top the usual sponge cake with a refereshing summer-y frosting.
Ingredients for frosting:
1 can of cut up fruits
250 ml fresh cream
2 tb sp gelatin
1/2 cup sugar (this you can alter according to taste)
1/2 cup warm water
Method:
Dissolve gelatin in the warm water and keep aside in refrigerator. Whip cream till almost stiff along with the sugar. Remove gelatin from fridge after 10 mins. Guve it a couple of runs in your blender, till it turns creamy. Now add the creamy gelatin into the whipped cream and fold them together. Add about 2 tb sp of the juice from the fruit can. Tip in the fruits, keep a few peices aside for garnish. Now spread, or like i did, slather this mixture on the cake completely. Just randomly place the remaining fruit peices on top of the creamy frosting. Ready to eat, or even better when chilled for an hour or so.
Enjoy! :)
You have a fantastic blog! I can't believe that a giant foodie like me only just found it! I thoroughly enjoyed the recipes and the photos.
ReplyDeleteI actually made something similar to your vanilla butter cake a few weeks back. Only, I used mango ganache to top the whole thing off.
Keep the good stuff coming. I'm adding you to my Google Reader right now! :)
