Best Ever Butter Cream Frosting

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

The title says it all. I’ve never had a lot of success with getting a frosting that both tasted good AND had the right texture!
This one was perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly except I used vanilla bean paste in place of the extract.

I also held back about a quarter of the batch and mixed in espresso powder to make a coffee frosting. YUM!

Excellent. Great for frosting and worked perfectly for decorating.

Easy and wonderful! While still quite sweet, the texture is light and so smooth and it spreads like a dream. I ended up swapping out one stick of butter for the equivalent of shortening and it worked out great.

I may scale down the measurements next time for a standard layer cake, as this makes a ton of frosting. I was able to frost a three layer 8″ cake very generously, make piped roses and still had leftovers! This batch would be great for generously-piped cupcakes.

Thank you for this great recipe– just got done frosting my daughter’s 4th birthday cake and it’s gorgeous and she can’t stop sneaking tastes!
