Per request from my roomies...... scalded milk cake with Italian buttercream icing
This is a very delicious and versatile recipe, but you must follow the instructions.
Cake......
Six eggs, three cups of sugar, three cups of flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, a pinch of salt, one and a half cups of scalded milk and 3 teaspoons of whatever flavor extract you want to use, with vanilla being the most common......
Mixed together flour baking powder and salt. Beat together the eggs the sugar and the scalded milk. (To make scalded milk, you put it on a low burner until bubbles start to form, but do not boil it ).. gradually add flour to the wet mixture. Lastly mix in the extract. Pour into an ungreased tube pan. Or you can use a Turks head pan if you know what that is. Bake 1 hour at 350°
Icing.....
Four tablespoons of flour, one cup of milk, half a cup of butter, half a cup of crisco, one cup of sugar, 2 tsp of vanilla extract
In a small saucepan on a medium Flame, use the one cup of milk and 4 tbsp of flour and make a paste. Refrigerate.......
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, crisco, sugar and extract. Beat until the sugar granules are barely detectable... in other words quite a while. When you feel it is ready, add the paste mixture and continue to beat until the icing is nice and fluffy and you can't feel the sugar granules on your tongue.
Remove cake from pan and place on cake dish after it has been completely cooled. Ice the cake and refrigerate.
This is a very dense cake, so you can cut thinner pieces for serving. And it will not crumble apart, so you can eat it dunk it do whatever. It is also a very versatile cake to eat without the icing, and fresh fruit on top
Get creative, use a little bit of coconut extract instead of vanilla extract in the cake batter. After it has been iced, sprinkle with coconut all over... Or use some orange extract in the batter and in the icing instead of vanilla, ice the cake and top with little slivers of Mandarin oranges.
Good luck and enjoy
