Guess what age my mother is turning this year?
Did you guess 82? Gold star! This is a white velvet cake with ermine frosting.
I really liked this recipe. The cake instructions were incredibly thorough, and had some good tips I will incorporate going forward. And it was my first time making ermine frosting (which is a fancy name for boiled frosting, something I’ve wondered about for years but have never made.) It was not as magical as when buttercream frosting comes together, but it was less stressful and had a just-right sweetness.
Mom was also a fan.
