Whipped Cream Frosting
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
** We used Heath brand toffee bits
*** Gelatine added to whipped cream gives it a firmer, mousse-like texture and keeps liquid from separating. It also holds up longer.
Betty Crocker discontinued its butter brickle cake mix and frosting mix in 1990, but fans can re-create the flavors. General Mills, which manufactured the mixes, suggested using its yellow, butter yellow, golden vanilla or French vanilla cake mix and folding in 1/2 cup of butter brickle pieces.
You can make the cake mix according to the package instructions or follow a suggestion from Anne Byrn, author of "The Cake Mix Doctor": She recommends using melted butter instead of oil and adding flavoring extract, such as vanilla, to hide the "cake mix flavor." We did both, and the tricks were effective.
General Mills didn't have a solution for duplicating the frosting, so we've provided a delicious alternative.
