I have a follower looking for a coconut cake recipe from the old H.D. Dudt Bakery in the Pittsburg, Pa. area. I don't have it, but I do have the recipe for their famous white buttercream frosting. Anyone have a recipe for the coconut cake?
H.D. DUDT'S BAKERY BUTTERCREAM
1 cup milk
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine milk and flour in saucepan. Stir until thick. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Blend Crisco and butter until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla. Whip at high speed for 2 minutes. Fold in milk and flour sauce. Whip until sugar dissolves, approximately 5 minutes.
This is an old-fashioned cooked-milk frosting, also called Ermine. Unlike traditional American buttercream, it uses granulated sugar and cooked flour for structure, resulting in a less sweet and non-gritty texture.
