Homemade Buttercream Frosting & Cake Decorating Set Giveaway
This week’s recipe from Rae is a Homemade Buttercream Frosting! Keep stopping by on Monday’s when we’ll have a new recipe and giveaway posted!
I wanted to make a fall type cake, so I bought a spice cake mix and looked for a great frosting.
That is when I remembered this recipe. It goes great with the flavor of a spice cake. The best part is
You use a box mix with the homemade frosting and everyone thinks it was all homemade. Only the cook knows!!
You can of course use any cake but spice is my favorite with this recipe. A cute idea, I took the last of my cake batter and
Made a 25th cupcake, when it was finished baking I crumbled it up and used it as a garnish for the cupcake, (see photo).
People will think you spent hours baking.
BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3-4 cups confectioner sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Up to 4 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS:
Beat the softened butter for 2 minutes with the whisk attachment of a stand mixer.
Turn the mixer on lowest speed and add 3 cups of confectioner sugar
When the mix is blended, turn to medium speed, add vanilla, salt and 2 tablespoons milk, beat for 3 minutes
Add the remaining sugar or milk as needed. I did add all the sugar and milk to my mix.
Tips- do not microwave your butter, soften to room temperature.
You may want to beat the mix for a few minutes until it incorporates. I mixed it for about 3-4 extra minutes just to get the perfect taste and texture
Enjoy!!!
