 Warning: Health Nuts look away NOW! (I’d describe myself as somewhat of a health nut - but we all have our weak moments)
This morning my 4 year old and I decided to make a cake. It was a rushed, last minute sort of thing, so I left my usual from-scratch recipes in the dust and reached for a box of Betty Crocker cake mix and frosting.
Once the cake was baked we realized that there was not going to be enough frosting. We had one container of it and that is not sufficient for filling and frosting a double layer cake. Luckily we had some whipping cream in the fridge. We poured some of the cream into our mixer and let it get nice and fluffy. Then we mixed the remainder of the frosting (I’d say we had already used half the container) into the whipped cream.
I suspected it would be good, and it was. The frosting had a nice, thick consistency and spread very easily. It also gave the cake a more homemade look and taste.
So, next time you don’t have enough frosting, or you just want to make your box cake a little more “special,” add some whipped cream. I can’t give you specific measurement, but I venture to say that it would be hard to mess this up. If you are not sure of the amount, put the frosting in a bowl and gradually add the whipped cream until you reach the amount or consistency you desire.
It worked for me and I’m sure it will work for you too.
