How to Make Go Big Red Cake Frosting
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of milk over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled milk-flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and fully chill before frosting your cake. Refrigerate the frosted cake as well!
