Try this buttercream frosting made with granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. It's the best for chocolate cakes and cupcakes. This recipe makes enough to frost the top of a 9x13-inch cake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter , softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Whisk milk and flour together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until mixture starts to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes. Then, whisk vigorously until mixture is lump-free, creamy, sticky, and significantly thicker, 2 to 3 more minutes; it may appear to ball up. Immediately remove from the heat and transfer to a plate; let cool to room temperature.

While the milk mixture is cooling, beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer for at least 10 minutes. Mixture should be very fluffy; you may need to mix for 5 more minutes. Gradually mix in cooled milk mixture on high speed; continue to mix until fluffy and smooth. Mix in vanilla.

This beet and orange salad is a nice, colorful salad. Wedges of cooked beets, sliced apples, and orange sections are dressed with a delicious vinaigrette and spooned onto a bed of shredded beet greens.
Candy Apple Salad
My grandmother gave me this recipe earlier today. I am not crazy about Apples, but loved this salad. I told my husband to hurry up and eat it before I eat too much. My grandmother told me it is like the candy apples at a fair, which I also am not crazy about, but this was the best salad ever! Hope you all enjoy.
