Buttercream Black And White Icing Cake

Seriously making black buttercream frosting is difficult.

Buttercream black and white icing cake.

When you add the black cocoa to your frosting it starts out as a deep brown. 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. When added to frosting and exposed to the air it turns a deep jet black.

Black cocoa powder for best black frosting. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Black cocoa powder can turn into a glossy black buttercream frosting perfect for decorating cakes and giving them an eye catching look. This creamy white cake with buttercream frosting is a really moist cake with a delicious buttercream frosting.

Also the oven should be pre heated. Make sure the cake is fully cooled before frosting it. Excellent recipe dense but very soft cake. When i first started cake decorating i thought that using only black color gel would get a beautiful black buttercream.

So far i have used it on cupcakes and a cake and i am in love. 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. There is nothing better than a good buttercream frosting to top. 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.

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. 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. You should not be able to detect any texture from the powdered sugar after your frosting is made.

So glad you like my white cake and the vanilla buttercream frosting. For pure white frosting add up to 4 tablespoons of liquid. Not only is it a beautiful deep black color but the flavor is incredible. If the frosting is too thin add more powdered sugar 1 4 cup at a time.

Mix cake mix pudding and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. You can use more or less milk to change the consistency depending on if you want it softer to ice a cake or stiffer to pipe edging and detail from a bag. The icing will be white if you use white butter clear vanilla.
