Go to the Recipe: Simple Sheet Cake
Hi Tim
I see that glycerol monostearate is sold in bulk as a supplement on Amazon that is much less expensive than the Modernist Pantry GMS. Would that work in these recipes? Thanks.
Hi Al,
Yes, this brand (if that's the one you're referring to) should work. I developed this recipe with both Modernist Pantry and the bulk brand, and saw no major differences.
Good luck!
Thanks Tim, that is the one I was referring to. I'll post when I give it a try.
I tried out this recipe. I found the buttercream interesting - very much a hybrid between traditional buttercream and and ermine frosting. I wonder if I added the sugar/milk mixture a bit too early (my trusty thermometer tragically died the day before).I’m going to try it one more time. The cake was tall and tender. Thank you!
I did use the bulk product and the cake was very moist and everyone loved it. I'm not sure what kind of rise I should have expected though. How high would you expect he cake to be? Thanks again for the recipe and earlier response. Loved the American buttercream frosting as well.
Alas bleached cake flour is forbidden in the EU, but extra fine low protein ‘cake flour’ can be the substitute
