Easter cake is an indispensable attribute of the Easter table. It is made from different doughs and traditionally decorated with sweet icing, which gives the baked goods an elegant look and additional sweetness. Preparing the icing for the cake usually does not take much time.
The easiest frosting recipe
The glaze not only gives additional sweetness to baked goods and serves as a kind of decoration for it: thanks to it, the cake will keep its freshness longer. The easiest option is icing sugar. It can be safely called a classic of the genre. It is easy and quick to do: stir the icing sugar in a small amount of liquid, such as lemon juice, coffee or rum, apply the mixture to a freshly baked cake and let it set. It's worth noting that any fruit juice can be used in this recipe. If you use pomegranate juice, you will get a red glaze, peach - orange, etc.
A properly prepared frosting should have a gooey and thick texture. This glaze sets quickly, so do not overstretch when applying it to the cake.
Protein icing recipe for cake
Ingredients:
Chill the protein before cooking. Whisk with lemon juice until fluffy. Continue whisking in the icing sugar. As a result, you will get a viscous snow-white glaze. To obtain a marble effect, tint some of the glaze with any food coloring: drip in several places on the damp glazed coating and use a thin stick to create ornate stains.
If the icing comes out too thick, add a little water, and if the icing is thin, add more powdered sugar. For flavoring, you can safely add vanilla. The mass is ready if it hangs from the whisk without flowing. Do not beat the egg whites too vigorously; the glaze will bubble from air saturation. Apply it only to slightly cooled baked goods. It smudges easily and hardens very quickly.
