Ina Garten of Food Network's Barefoot Contessa is one of my favorite chefs. I was watching her show where she prepared a 30th wedding anniversary meal for Jeffrey. She made the most awesome little chocolate wedding cake, it was so cute! The buttercream frosting she made included many ingredients that I have not used in a chocolate frosting, so I wanted to make sure that I didn't lose the recipe.

Thanks, Gina! I printed a copy. I've never seen a frosting recipe so fluid. Lots of vanilla, yes, gotta have that dark rum...and so little cream of tartar. This has got to be delicious!
ReplyDeleteI think Ina has the BEST frostings....her peanut butter icing is out of this world!
ReplyDeletemmmmmm Peanut Butter Frosting :) I'm gonna have to look that up. I have visions of a chocolate layer cake with peanut butter frosting in the middle and chocolate frosting on the outside. Thank you Heather!
ReplyDelete@Kittie . . . I like the ingredients too. I have noticed that she uses expresso in most of her chocolate creations. She says it adds a different dimension . . . I'm thinking that the rum in this recipe would give it an awesome dimension too.
Thanks for visiting and commenting!
