Choco Peanut Butter Frosting for Dry Fruit Cake
Everyone is baking cakes, cookies and muffins. There is merriment everywhere whether they are celebrating Christmas or no. My blog was quite as I din't do any of it. Then today I found this in the drafts. No this was not to celebrate Christmas but to celebrate the cravings of a mother to be.
I made a basic dry fruit cake like here excluding the chocolate layer: Polka Dots Cake For The BC Fighters
The Frosting is something new. I don't like rich frosted cakes. So most times I make cakes with fruit puree frosting or serve with compote. Since this one was for a special treat I decided to make a Choco Peanut butter frosting.
Ingredients.
1 cup of pure peanut butter (Navadarshanam)
1/2 cup powder sugar
1/4 cup milk or cream
1/2 cup Cadbury's Cocoa powder
In a bowl add all ingredients and whisk till sugar dissolves. It is a lip smacking frosting. Pour it over a completely cooled cake.
I carried the frosting in a bottle and then dressed the cake just before cutting. The smile on the expectant mother's face was very rewarding.
love PB and thats a great idea to frost cake like this. Merry Christmas Anjali.
