Jiffy Frosting Recipe
I'm not sure if you have heard of Jiffy Frosting, but it is kind of a unique frosting. It is a thicker almost "grittier" type of frosting. Either way, it is my family's absolute favorite. So, I went to the store to grab some for a birthday cake I was making when I was surprised not to find it. Granted, it normally is hard to find and I normally purchase it at Marsh. This year however I encountered a problem as Marsh is closed. I went to all the stores around to look for it. Meijer. Walmart. Sam's Club. Target. Kroger. Everywhere around us, and couldn't find it. So I decided to go on a hunt to find a recipe. Surely I could make it right?! As I searched though I struggled to find a chocolate Jiffy frosting recipe. After searching Yahoo Answers and various sites, I finally found a photo on Pinterest of a recipe. It didn't really connect to a site, but I decided to try it. It ended up working okay, certainly Jiffy was hard to recreate, but it was pretty good! I had to add significantly more confectioner sugar to make it thick enough but I liked it! So, if you are a fan of Jiffy Frosting give it a try.
Melt Chocolate.
Add confectioner sugar and hot water. Mix thoroughly.
Add egg. Beat well.
Add butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, and beat after each addition, until smooth.
Add salt and vanilla.
(Add more Confectioner sugar as necessary)
Spread on cooled cake.
ORIGINAL RECIPE
No guarantees on this recipe because, like I mentioned, I just saw it in a photo on Pinterest. I had to edit and kinda wing the recipe at the end to get it to the right consistency ... but I thought it got pretty close to the original Jiffy frosting. If you're interested in trying a new frosting for your cake, check out Jiffy. And hey, best thing about frosting is that it most often means you are celebrating something. Which is awesome.
XOXO,
