Cacao Butter is an amazing product that can be used not only for cooking, but also painting in cake decorating.
Cocoa butter is used in cakes for its ability toprovide a smooth, velvety texture and a rich flavor, especially in chocolate-based recipes. It can be used as a substitute for butter or oil, for dairy-free baking, or in decorative applications like creating edible paint or velvet effects on cakes. To use it, it must first be melted to a liquid stat
Uses in cakes
Enhancing texture:When added to batters, cocoa butter can make cakes richer and more tender. It is especially useful in recipes that already use chocolate.
Dairy-free and vegan baking:It can be substituted for butter or oil in recipes to create dairy-free or vegan versions of cakes, cookies, and other pastries.
Decoration:
Edible paint:Melted cocoa butter can be mixed with coloring dust to create an edible paint for decorating fondant, ganache, or buttercream.
Velvet Spray;Cocoa butter is the base for "velvet effect" sprays used to create a textured, velvety finish on cakes, particularly mousse cakes.
How to use
Melt:Gently melt the cocoa butter until it reaches a liquid state. A double boiler or placing it in a heatproof bowl over hot water is recommended.
Incorporate:Add the melted cocoa butter to your cake batter, replacing the butter or oil as needed by weight.
For decoration:For edible paints, mix the liquid cocoa butter with color dust. For velvet sprays, use a specialized spray gun according to the product's instructions.
