Hi
I want to make plain cake n chocolate cake.Could any one give me the recipe of these cakes n icing for them. Sudheshna replied. hi,
when u say bake cake for 5-7 min, does it mean ' convection' or microwave or combination of both? i have bought a kenstar microwave but still now couldnt make an edible cake aparna replied. Whipped cream is a good icing for the cakes.
But for decorating the cakes with flowers and leave u need butter cream icing

1 cup solid butter
4 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Cream butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
