"That's the Best Frosting I Ever Had": 5/5

This recipe sounded weirder than weird. Who puts flour in a frosting?? From now on, I do. Scientifically, I have no idea how this recipe came together, but somehow the end result really is like the best whipped cream ever. I don't even like whipped cream very much. But this has such a buttery, rich flavor like buttercream frosting and has that light quality of whipped cream frosting

Of course it was a little extra trouble to have to cook the frosting, but it was well worth the effort. I put it on red velvet cupcakes from a box, and I couldn't have been happier. I've been told that this was the original frosting on red velvet cake before it become popular to use cream cheese frosting. Oh, and please be sure to let the frosting get cool, not just lukewarm. Otherwise you may have to throw it in the fridge and try mixing it again 30 minutes later. Or so I have heard.

One last thing! The recipe said the frosting was best served the same day as made. That is true. However, I have been enjoying these for a few days, and they still taste pretty good anyway.
