Milk Chocolate Cake

[mignardise]

Hi. didn't want to put this where the best chocolate cake thread was.

Got a request from a bride wanting a Milk Chocolate Cake with white frosting.

""""She seems persistant"""""" arrgggghhh

I don't do Milk Chocolate Cakes..........just Devil's and a Dark Chocolate, don't do frosting either. It's buttercream...........

Anyone??????

Really don't want to mess around with tweaking my own recipes, looked on the web for some, not looking good out there, slim pickin's.....

Help!

Is buttercream not frosting?

I want to stay on the same topic.......Milk Chocolate Cake.

She wants thick, sweet 10x frosting, I'm talking silky Italian Meringue Buttercream

I'd go with CI's german chocolate cake recipe, if I was requested to make a milk chocolate cake. It fits into a milk chocolate labeled cake taste, texture and looks wise.

Wendy.......are you referring to "Baking Illustrated" from Cook's Illustrated?

I was thinking about a German Chocolate. Does this recipe double up good?

Thanks for your response.

Or, is the recipe from America's Test Kitchen? Completely different German Chocolate recipe?

The german chocolate cake from Cooks Illustrated. I got lead to it by Patrick who posted he really liked it.

I make it like x12 the first time I made it. So you shouldn't have any problems doubling it.

Thanks Wendy....got that issue.

Good to know that it doubles up good for the future.

So for the record....is there such thing as a Milk Chocolate Cake(sponge)?

In all my pastry years, I've never seen one, used one, tasted one.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I've seen a couple milk chocolate cake recipes, but I can't think of where......
