Poor Mans Cake With Whipped Cream Frosting Recipes

POOR MAN'S CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING RECIPE

Steps:

• In a saucepot, combine the water, raisins, sugar, shortening, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Continue simmering until the raisins have rehydrated and the sugar and spices have dissolved roughly 5 to 8 minutes. Stir occasionally. Set aside to cool completely at room temperature.
• While waiting, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the cooled syrup into your sifted flour mixture. Fold until evenly incorporated.
• Pour into your greased bundt pan, then bake until a cake tester comes out clean for roughly 45 minutes.
• Once baked, set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes. Flip over to release the cake while still warm. Cool completely at room temperature.
• Dissolve cornstarch in water then pour into a small saucepot. Bring this to a simmer until slightly thickened, no more than 5 minutes. Set aside to cool down completely.
• In a mixing bowl attached to a hand beater, combine the rest of the ingredients. Whip until mixture turns pale and light, roughly 5 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce the speed of your beater to low. Gradually drizzle your cornstarch slurry at the side of the bowl. Continue whipping until evenly incorporated.
• Spread the topping to decorate your cake. Portion accordingly and serve.
