Mint Buttercream Frosting and Dark Chocolate Glaze
Indulge in the delightful combination of mint buttercream frosting and a rich dark chocolate glaze. This frosting, made with confectioners' sugar, mint extract, and unsweetened chocolate, complements a mayonnaise cake perfectly.
Ingredients
| 4 | confectioners' sugar |
|---|---|
| 1/2 | cup butter, softened |
| 1/8 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | teaspoon mint extract |
| 4 | tablespoons milk |
| 2 | (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate |
| 2 | tablespoons butter |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by creaming 1 1/3 cups of confectioners' sugar with a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of softened butter until light and fluffy. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Incorporate the refreshing mint extract, 2 tablespoons of milk, and the remaining confectioners' sugar into the mixture. Gradually add the remaining milk until the frosting reaches the desired spreading consistency. |
| 3. | For the indulgent dark chocolate glaze, melt 1 ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate and 2 tablespoons of butter together either in a microwave or a double boiler. Double the glaze recipe if a thicker layer is preferred. |
| 4. | To assemble the cake, frost it generously. Create a decorative scallop of frosting along the top edge to prevent the glaze from running down the sides. Finally, pour the luxurious chocolate glaze over the top of the cake and refrigerate until the glaze sets. |
