This is a lush light frosting which keeps it's consistency for 1-2 days in the refrigerator and doesn't seem to sink into the cake as so many do. Simple and easy to make. A delicious topping for those special occasions when you want something special.

SERVES 8 -10 , 1 cake (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 cup icing sugar (2 cups if added sweetness is desired, I use 1 1/2 to 2cups)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa

Directions

  1. 1
    Sift icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl.
  2. 2
    Add whipping cream and stir to mix.
  3. 3
    With beater whip as for whipping cream.
  4. 4
    This amount will very generously cover a large Angel cake or any other large cake.

    Try adding a package of those instant coffee mixes - gives it a mocha flavour. Use 1 1/2 cups cream with 1/2 cup icing sugar for 9x13 cake. Great on Jamaica Me Crazy Chili Real Banana Milk Cake

    This icing was delicious. I put it on my husbands birthday cake, he loves whipped cream icing as the other members of my family do not. This more than pleased them all. I also added about 1 3/4 cups sugar and it had just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect!!
