made a chocolate cake so used this recipe to make chocolate frosting. used 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of almond extract but my roommate thought I should have used more almond, and then used leftover cold coffee instead of milk/cream. Such a dreamy, creamy frosting recipe. So easy and flexible!

Hi, just wanted to know if this was supposed to tastes like shortening and powdery? I mean is the powdered sugar should be melted when you mix it in the butter? Mine tastes like shortening and the powdered sugar didn't melted I think I did something wrong doing this. This is my first time btw. PS: I used the Ingredients the chef gave where I enrolled.

It helps that she is adding the icing a bit at a time , slow speed to start, and has a large/deep mixer bowl. If you have a smaller bowl or making a volume of frosting that fills it up more, there will be more sugar clouds!

The main ingredients that make up buttercream (and affect its consistency) are butter, powdered sugar and cream (or water or some flavoring, but basically a liquid). Butter certainly isn't liquidy at room temperature, but it is soft. The powdered sugar is definitely solid and "firm" so to speak. Then there's the liquid, which should be added last and only as needed. If you are adding the right about of powdered sugar to the right amount of butter, it shouldn't be too thin or runny. A pretty standard ratio of butter to powdered sugar is 1 cup of butter to 4 cups of powdered sugar. Some people like to reduce the powdered sugar because they feel like it's too much sugar. But that will soften the buttercream because the powdered sugar thickens it and adds volume. Once you have the right amount of powdered sugar for the butter, then you add the liquid and only as much as needed to thin it out so it's workable. If your buttercream is too thin after combining butter and powdered sugar, then you likely didn't add enough powdered sugar. If it's too thin after adding the liquid, then you likely added too much liquid. I hope that helps.

@@lifeloveandsugarofficial ahh right definitely makes sense. Thanks I’ll keep that in mind next time I attempt it again. Well looking back I think mine depended on the temperature of butter as mine did melt away abit after heating the butter to make it soft. Plus I only used few grams of sugar like 50 grams (UK) as it got soo sweet immediately. I am a beginner n it was my first time trying. Any tips in my situation? I really enjoy baking n wish to be a baker one day.

The only way to really thicken it back up is by adding more powdered sugar. It really is best to add the liquid in small amounts slowly so that you don't end up with it too thin. I'd store it in the fridge and then bring it back to room temperature before using it.

Hello! You can use it under Fondant, but you’ll want to put your fully frosted cake into the freezer for at least 20 min for it to set. Then immediately cover with fondant - making sure not to press too hard. You can apply a bit of water to the cake so that the buttercream sticks - but a little goes a long way. Also keep in mind that once it’s ‘warmed’ up again not to press on it. I have found it works really well.

Some people know it by the brand name - Crisco. It's basically a butter replacement, but you can use an equal amount of butter to replace it.

That's why it's called buttercream. It is almost all butter.

Everytime I try to make any buttercream it’s grainy for the powdered sugar would you know why that happens?:)

I've never had that issue, but it sounds like you might either need to beat your buttercream for a little longer or sift your powdered sugar before adding it.

Clear vanilla extract
@lifeloveandsugarofficial
@lifeloveandsugarofficial 5 жыл бұрын
Clear vanilla extract does help, but sometimes it can have a little bit of a yellow tint from the butter. Often what people do is add the tiniest little bit of purple coloring to it. They are opposite colors on the color wheel so it gives the appearance of being completely white.

You can substitute the vanilla for almond extract, which is clear. It’ll obviously change the flavor, but it’s pretty close to vanilla and goes great with white cakes.

You can also beat the butter/shortening mixture for a longer time, I find that helps with my buttercream not having that yellow tint!
