This may be the wrong forum to ask, but I'm in a hurry so forgive me in advance, haven't looked at what forum I'm in.
If I want to use this frosting recipe, but do not want to use the cocoa...can I safely remove the cocoa to end up w/ a peanut butter flavoured frosting?
I really need to use this recipe b/c I'm making it for someone who is dairy intolerant, and the cake will be chocolate and I didn't want the cake to be overpowering in the chocolate aspect. Thoughts? Any help is appreciated.
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup water
1 cup sifted cocoa powder
4 cups icing sugar
Cocoa is going to act as a drying agent as well so if you take it out you will need to fix the recipe. If you replace it with more powdered sugar it may be way too sweet as the sugar has been formulated already to make up for the cocoa. I would maybe just lessen the fat and/or water.
ya, your going to have to compensate the dry goods... more powdered sugar would be my answer.
