Easy icing mixes

The Icing on the Cake

August 22, 2011 By Jody

Simple Chocolate Icing

2 tablespoons cocoa
1.5 cups icing sugar or icing mixture
2 – 3 tablespoons milk

In a bowl sift the cocoa and icing sugar. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time and mix to desired consistency. Spread over a cold cake.

Chocolate Frosting (A very rich, thick icing – perfect for piping)

2 cups of icing sugar or icing mixture
5 tablespoons cocoa
5 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
4 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Sift dry ingredients together in a bowl. In another bowl beat the butter and vanilla until creamy. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients – use the milk to achieve the required consistency.

Cream Cheese Icing

250 grams Cream Cheese (such as Philly)
4 tablespoons icing sugar
2 teaspoons of lemon zest

In a mixing bowl combine the above ingredients and beat on high speed until thick and creamy without any lumps. Perfect on carrot cake!
