Mom's Chocolate Icing |
Now I use the same recipe, Veganized, to make birthday treats for my daughter.
For a Children's Version of this recipe, check out this post!
Her original recipe was like this:
Mom's Original Chocolate Icing
Melt together in Saucepan:
3 Squares unsweetened Baker's Chocolate
3 Tablespoons Butter
Mix Separately:
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1/8 teaspoon Salt
7 Tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Blend in melted Chocolate mixture, mixing well with an electric mixer. Add milk or powdered sugar, as needed to thin or thicken.
Chocolate Cupcakes with Mom's Chocolate Frosting |
Mom's Chocolate Icing, Veganized
Melt in Microwave or saucepan
1/3 cup Earth Balance or similar Vegan Buttery Spread
Mix in
1/3 cup Cocoa
Dash Salt
Teaspoon Vanilla
Stir in
4 Tablespoons Nondairy Milk (I use Soy)
Then, gradually add, while mixing with an electric mixer
2 Cups Powdered Sugar
(add more Powdered Sugar or more Nondairy Milk to achieve desired spreading texture)
This Frosting Freezes well - you can decorate Cupcakes and wrap them airtight to freeze (in such a way that the frosting isn't damaged) Thaw at room temperature, without unwrapping.

Well that sounds like something I could even try and do! The hard part would be the baking - I'm sooooo not a baker :)
ReplyDeleteYou really don't have to be much of a baker - my Mom wasn't either! : ) She actually used this frosting over a Jiffy cake mix cake - and it turned out GREAT! If you need an easy vegan cake, I have some easy vegan cakes & cupcakes from your own mixes scheduled to post soon : )
DeleteThanks for sharing this recipe on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! I could have used this a few days ago when a vegan friend visited but at least I will be better equipped next time :)
ReplyDeleteTake care Anna!
