Chocolate and peanut butter? I'm trying to come up with a cake for my hubby. Also what frosting is stiff enough to decorate with.
His birthday is in June SO i want a rich cake that has a light fruitiness about it.
I was looking for a good peanut butter frosting that i could still decorate with : )
I know you smarties can help me
Chocolate & peanut butter-- I think banana, it goes really well with both. Don't know if banana fits the bill of "light fruitiness" though.
I am assuming you mean dark chocolate not white chocolate. The first thing that popped into mind was dried figs. They do have a nutty/earthy flavour that will complement peanuts and they are rich in flavour to not be sompletely drowned in chocolate. I don't know if its possible to get a light fruity sort of flavor with peanuts and chocolate.
Cool. I just didn't want to make the cake so rich so i was kind of trying to find something to lighten it up. Hmmmm. I will have to think. I know a lot that goes with chocolate but i'm not sure about it going with peanut butter....
How about strawberry or cherry? These fruits as jams go with peanut butter & are awesome coated in chocolate also. You could maybe mix them with whipping cream to make the texture lighter & the flavour not quite so dense.
I never really decorated with this frosting(only used it as a filling) but I would think you could add meringue powder to it and it might crust.
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
cream PB and butter together until well blended, add powdered sugar, mix until combined. Then turn blender to high and beat until fluffy.
I would add the meringue powder with the powdered sugar. If mixture isn't spreadable I add more softened butter.
