Sass & Veracity: Italian Almond Orange Cake: Mediterranean Meal's Dessert. That's the Best Frosting I've Ever Had – Tasty Kitchen. Bake your favorite chocolate cake and let it cool. In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. You want it to be very thick, thicker than cake mix, more like a brownie mix is. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. (If I’m in a hurry, I place the saucepan over ice in the sink for about 10 minutes or so until the mixture cools.) It must be completely cool before you use it in the next step. Stir in vanilla. While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Grab a spoon and taste this wonderful goodness. Cut yourself a piece and put it on a pretty plate.

Big Red Kitchen: Rainbow Cupcakes. So when it came time for our school’s bake sale a week ago, I thought Rainbow Cupcakes would be fun for a change.
