The difference between cake animal cream and buttercream:

1. Different definitions.

Animal cream, also called light cream, generally refers to animal cream that can be whipped and used for decoration. The fat content is generally 30% to 36%. After being whipped into a solid state, it becomes the cream for decoration on the cake. Butterfat butter, often called animal butter, is mainly extracted from natural fresh milk without any colorings or added chemical stabilizers.

2. Different characteristics.

Animal butter is real animal butter, extracted from milk, rich in nutrients, natural and healthy. But if you compare the taste, the flavor has good baking stability and is better than any edible cream flavor; butterfat cream is far better than animal cream.

3. The functions are different.

After the animal cream is whipped into a paste, it can be decorated on cakes, or added to coffee, ice cream, fruits, snacks, or even eaten directly. Buttercream can be used to make cream cakes, ice cream, mousse cakes, tiramisu, etc. If you add some when making bread, it will also make the bread softer.

Things to note when choosing animal butter:

1. Look at the labels: Choose products with complete and correct labels on the product packaging. The product name, ingredients, net content, production date, shelf life, storage conditions, manufacturer address and contact information, product standard number and production license number are required to be complete and formal. Pay attention to the production date of the product, the newer the better.

2. Look at the ingredient list and fat content: Pay attention to the first raw material in the ingredient list. Products made from light cream or cream are of better quality and do not contain other additives. Secondly, look at the fat content. The higher the fat content, the better, generally between 30% and 36%.

3. Look at the packaging: select a tight outer packaging, the packaging seal remains in its original shape, there is no oil spillage, and the surface is smooth; if it is deformed, oil spills, the surface is uneven, deflected, and the surrounding dents are found, it is inferior quality cream.

4. Look at the color: high-quality animal butter is generally milky white or milky yellow, uniform in color and shiny. Pure white or darker yellow may be vegetable butter or butter with added pigments, which is of poor quality.

5. Smell: high-quality animal cream has the sweet fragrance of cream, which is not particularly strong. Inferior animal cream has a strong milk fragrance. This kind of animal cream is usually added with flavor or milk powder. If other odors appear, , it may be spoiled butter and cannot be eaten.
