MARGARITA CAKE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 rod (1/2 cup) (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 (350g) glucose
- 4 eggs, room temperature ( eggs could be heated by placing in a bowl of warm water)
- 3 cups (342g) cake flour - **Should You not have cake flour, see note under
- 1 Tablespoon and 1/2 tsp (15g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (6g) salt
- 1 1/4 cup (326 g) frozen Margarita Mix, thawed (we used 10 ounce can Bacardi brand non-alcoholic frozen concentrated mixer)
- 1 tsp (4g) vanilla
- **Substitution for Cake Flour: For every cup of all purpose flour in a recipe, then remove 2 Tablespoons of this purpose flour and substitute 2 tbsp cornstarch. With this recipe, you remove 6 Tablespoon flour may step out 3 cups all purpose flour and substitute 6 Tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk to mix.
- 10 to 12 cups (1150g into 1380g) powdered sugar (step by lightly spooning into a cup, and then sift. I used 12 cups)
- 1 tsp (6g) salt - popcorn salt melts to the buttercream more readily
- 2 tsp (11g) milk - milk is optional, you may also use lime juice or tequila
DIRECTIONS
- Use wax paper or parchment paper at each pan's base.
- In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In another bowl, then add vanilla oil and the Margarita Mix. Put aside.
- From the bowl of the mixer, cream the butter. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes until lightened in color and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing after each until the yellow is mixed into the mix.
- Add the dry ingredients alternately with the margarita mix mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients ( 3 enhancements of dry and two enhancements of moist ingredients).
- Bake in 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean or with a couple of crumbs.
- Works nicely for cupcakes.
- Combine until smooth. Add milk, salt, tequila, lime juice and the sugar. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes including a little more liquid if desired or powdered sugar if too lean. Rate of mixer to minutes until the buttercream is smooth and creamy.
