recipe
Anonymous asked: I am so excited about the chocolate cake recipe!! if it's the same one you've made before, then I'm in love! I loved it when you just served the cake with whipped cream. can you give a recipe for the whipped cream you made? i want to make this "naked" with whipped cream. -- marites
Whipping cream is a snap in the food processor and literally takes a few minutes. Fill the bowl no more than 1/2 full with heavy cream, turn on to full speed and whir until cream just begins to thicken. Turn off, add vanilla and powdered sugar to taste (see below). Continue on full speed until cream is as thick as you want.
1. with this method, cream can quickly turn to butter, so don’t walk away
2. 1 C. cream + 1 t. vanilla + 2 T. powdered sugar= 2 C. WHIPPED cream
3. powdered sugar contains a little cornstarch and helps the whipped cream hold it’s shape; if you make the whipped cream hours ahead of serving time and don’t add powdered sugar (it’s actually delicious unsweetened) it may begin to “weep” milk/liquid; simply bring it back by whisking vigorously.
4. other ways to whip cream: use a deep, chilled bowl and whisk vigorously, electric mixer or blender (in a pinch, use a fork and really get a workout!)
