Tangzhong icing

Profile picture for user Moe C

As you can see, I'm no cake decorator, but I've always loved cake with loads of creamy frosting. This recipe was popular...I was going to say awhile back...but it's been about 45 yrs since I first tasted it. It is soft, creamy and NOT sweet (unless more sugar is added). 

 

It does, indeed, contain tangzhong. The effect is just as good as in bread dough.

 

This recipe makes more than enough for a 2- layer cake and requires a fairly large mixer bowl. 

 

1.5 cups milk

10 Tbsps flour
