7 Minute Frosting my butt.... This frosting took a lot longer than 7 minutes.. but the result was worth it! This cupcake recipe was from the Cupcake Deck, its just a simple chocolate cupcake recipe with the allusive 7 minute frosting.
I tried to make this frosting last week, but after I had half beaten the egg white/sugar mixture the plumber came and I had to quit for a while and then I couldn't get the frosting to thicken at all. So earlier I tried to make the 7 minute frosting and once again it didn't thicken at all... stupid frosting. I followed the recipe exactly and it still didn't work so then I got to thinking that maybe it was the type of handheld mixer I was using.
This mixer was not working... so a quick trip to canadian tire and 9 dollars later...
a new hand held mixer!
okay third times a charm... This time the icing defiantly did thicken yay! However.. I only have a small double boiler so it thickened enough that I had to remove a cup of the frosting from the double boiler and finish mixing it later! You mix the frosting until it starts to peak.. I think that I stopped mixing it too soon but at this point it had been three hours and the 7 minutes were up....
The frosting was then piled onto the fresh chocolate cupcakes...
until it was all gone....
The cupcakes were really good, however im not sure the 7 minute frosting was worth it! (they do look good though! and they tasted pretty good to!)
Just slightly more than 7 minutes...
ReplyDeleteBut they looked like they were worth the time and effort!
And they taste just like another, and another and another...back to the diet
