I included this recipe as a nut-free option for those with allergies. This cream is my super simple no-margarine chocolate icing, and the best part is that there is no need to spread. I simply pour it on slowly and let it settle. If making this into a layer cake, simply spoon some chocolate between the layers and smooth with the back of a spoon.
12 eggs, separated
2 and 2/3 cups sugar
1 and 1/4 cups oil, such as Gefen Cottonseed Oil
1 and 3/4 cups Gefen Potato Starch
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup oil, such as Gefen Cottonseed Oil
3/4 cup Gefen Cocoa Powder
1/4 cup hot water
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the beater attachment, beat egg whites with sugar until stiff.
Add egg yolks and oil and mix until combined.
Meanwhile, grate the chocolate on the larger hole of a box grater over a large bowl. Add the potato starch and mix with a spoon until evenly combined.
Add chocolate and potato starch slowly to batter, folding in with a spatula until batter is smooth. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan lined with Gefen Parchment-Paper, or three 9-inch round pans. Bake for one hour for the 9 x 13-inch pan or 50 minutes for nine-inch rounds.
To make the chocolate icing, place the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, oil, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Add hot water and still until smooth. Pour over cooled or frozen cake.
