Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Has anybody ever made the peanut butter frosting with coconut oil instead of butter? I'm making the pb cake for my 2-yr-old's birthday and don't want to do dairy yet. Thanks, Gia (mom to Jack and , SCD 7 mos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I made just a small amount for a couple of cookies for Adam to decorate at school at Christmastime. I didn't care for it, but he liked it oK. I always use the pb frosting on teh pb cake. (1 cup of each, I think, whipped together). Also the marshmallow-y honey frosting in BTVC would probably be good too. -- Sue, mom to Adam and > Has anybody ever made the peanut butter frosting with coconut oil > instead of butter?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 " Has anybody ever made the peanut butter frosting with coconut oil instead of butter? " Gia, Yes, I have made the frosting using coconut oil. Just make sure you only use about 3/4 of the called-for amount. Coconut oil is " wetter " than butter and your frosting will be too wet if you use the full amount. I took it to another child's birthday party and all of the kids who tried the cake really liked it and wanted more. I baked it in a two piece non-stick angel food cake pan. It worked out great because there is no center section. So, it cooked evenly. Jody mom to -5.1 and -7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
