QUICK RUM FROSTING



Quick Rum Frosting image

I use this recipe quite often on a spiced pound cake it compliments quite well. My grandparents love it; I make it with cake every time I visit them. This is a basic buttercream recipe with rum extract and a few extra spices added to it. I prefer a stronger rum flavor, so you should adjust the amount of rum extract to your liking.

Treat friends to these moreish rum truffles. They make an ideal gift for grown-ups, or you can omit the rum to make plain chocolate truffles for children

Provided by Good Food team

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids), chopped into small pieces
150g double cream
100g chocolate cake, broken into crumbs
1 tbsp dark rum
3 tbsp chocolate sprinkles or chocolate vermicelli

Steps:

  • Heat the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Remove from the heat, and mix in the cake crumbs and rum. Leave to cool at room temperature until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls, about 1 hr - don't worry if it splits slightly. If you're short of time, chill the mixture for up to 30 mins, stirring every 10 mins, until firm.
  • If the mixture splits, stir again until smooth. Put the sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls, then roll in the sprinkles to coat. Will keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for up to a week.
