dobash frosting (for dobash cake, hawaiian style)
Per request, I am posting this frosting separately so people can just search for frosting. This is my family-tested Dobash recipe. Don't let the richness fool you. We love this frosting for its light and just-right sweetness. I have also posted the full recipe for the cake with the frosting. I hope you like it as much as we do!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This is a recipe for the frosting of a Hawaiian-style Dobash cake. Light in chocolate flavor and not overly rich, it's similar to a thick chocolate custard. Dobash cake has six layers. We baked three cakes, sliced them in half, and put a little frosting in between each layer. Once assembled, the cake is light and delicious. Chilling the frosting will help to make spreading easier. We also recommend keeping this cake chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
