Best Ever Butter Cream Frosting:
* 1 egg white
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Heat milk to boiling, and then let cool. In a large bowl, beat egg white until stiff. Add sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix with mixer till well blended. Add cooled milk, then beat until nice and creamy. Will take about 15 to 20 minutes of beating after adding the milk. Use to frost any kind of cake. Best if kept refrigerated after frosting cake.

how do i make chocolate icing without powdered sugar? anyone got any recipes?

We Answered:

To make the Fudge Icing: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, milk, butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Using an electric mixer, beat icing for 3 minutes, or until it thickens to spreading consistency.

And yes I am way to late!!

Wade Said:

What does sifting flour and powdered sugar do when baking?

We Answered:

if you don't sift ingredients for recipes that call for it it means you might have lumps in the batter, glaze, etc that you are making

if you sift when you aren't required: not only is it unnecessary (time-consuming, dirties another thing) you risk making whatever you were planning to bake runny, and that can throw off texture

but either way it usually isn't ever a big deal

Nathan Said:

In a recipe that calls for powdered sugar, can you use regular sugar instead?

We Answered:

If you are making the batter, go ahead, and make sure that the sugar has completely dissolved in the butter. This is called "creaming" (which makes no sense, but it is), and there will be no problem with grittiness.

Another option is to slowly pour some granulated sugar through the hole in the lid of a running blender.

Voila! Powdered sugar!

Best wishes!
