BUTTER CREAM ICING (BUTTERCREAM FROSTING)
I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)

Steps:
- Get out the salted butter! Trust me and use salted butter, it's the secret ingredient!
- Beat the butter until it is light and creamy. This is important as you are adding the icing sugar next. If the butter isn't creamy you can get lumps in the icing.
- Add in the icing sugar. Again, if you are like me and can taste stale icing sugar, you will need a fresh bag.
- Add in the cream.. I used 4 tablespoons for my preference, you adjust to what you want.
- Stiffer icing = less cream. Lighter icing = more cream. Adjust the amount to your liking by adding one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Add the vanilla then keep mixing it until fluffy and thoroughly combined.

- Dairy-Free Lemon Buttercream Frosting. Buttercream frosting is an American culinary staple, which is not compromised in this dairy-free and vegan recipe.
- Gluten-Free Coconut Frosting. With just three ingredients, this frosting recipe couldn't be easier to pull together. While the use of an electric mixer or a food processor will certainly speed up the process and make for a fluffier final product, it's also possible to achieve a satisfying result with a simple bowl and whisk.
- Coffee Frosting. A little bit of espresso goes a long way in this coffee-flavored frosting. Simple to make and so delicious, this is the perfect topping for dairy-free chocolate cakes and cupcakes like this vegan mocha cake.
- Royal Icing. Royal icing is a simple icing that is typically used for decorating sugar cookies, gingerbread houses, cakes, and cupcakes. Prepared with just a few ingredients, this icing is perfect for everyday treats as well as special occasions.
