| White Cake w/Butterscotch Frosting |
[22 Apr 2008|03:16pm] |
This is what I do on my freetime.
I really wish I got a picture of the cake once it was cut, because it was definately the best looking cake I've baked so far. The layers were nice and lined up and it was just beautiful. The texture of this cake is remarkable. I doctored the buttercream frosting that was in my book, because I wasn't certain how the birthday boy would like the orange liquor taste, so instead I went wth butterscotch schnapps. There was a big problem prior to baking (because I dropped the bottle of alcohol) but after buying a second bottle, it was well worth it. While I would never ever drink the butterscotch schnapps alone, it made a great addition to the frosting.
Actually, the schnapps might taste really good in hot chocolate.
This recipe was from a book called Baking in America by Greg Patent.
I have that stick in the middle of the cake because it was being all slidey. But once the icing hardened I pulled it out and it all stayed together.
