Is there a recipe for Cake Frostings Using Granulated Sugar?

Question

I found a Red Velvet Cake mix in the cupboard that I want to make for dessert, but I need to find a recipe for frosting to go with it, that does not use or needs very little powdered/confectioners sugar.

Because, I am almost out of powdered sugar, and I can't go shopping right now. I have A LOT of granulated white sugar (regular table sugar) that I can use.

I do have a little powdered sugar, but I emphasize, it's really not much left.

I also have:
1 1/2 sticks of butter
milk
evaporated milk
vanilla extract

Anyone know of a frosting I can use for my Red Velvet Cake (not cream cheese based frostings - I don't have cream cheese or like cream cheese based sweets anyway)

Is there any recipe for frosting using Granulated sugar in place of, or in conjunction with smaller amounts of powdered/confectioners sugar?

Answer 1

French Vanilla Icing

2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix flour with milk. Cook in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Let cool completely.

Cream sugar and butter until thick and smooth. Add flour-milk mixture and whip until light. Add vanilla and whip until light. This is a soft icing.

Frosting Recipe With Granulated Sugar

Answer 3

I know what you mean...want to make something but don't have my "normal" ingredients! This is a really good frosting and should be excellent on red velvet cake. Hopefully you have a hand electric mixer.

Seven Minute Frosting
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup cold water
2 egg whites
2 tsp. light corn syrup OR 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla

In the top of a double boiler, combine all but the vanilla. Beat 30 seconds on low speed of electric mixer. Place over boiling water (upper pan should not touch water). Cook about 7 minutes while beating constantly on high speed of electric mixer or till frosting forms stiff peaks. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Beat 2 or 3 minutes more or till of spreading consistency.

Answer 5

If you have a blender or grinder of some kind, then you can just grind up the granulated sugar to make it of a finer consistency like that of powdered sugar. All powdered and confectioner sugars are is finer grains of granulated sugar.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU7Ak

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
