Fluffy Buttercream Frosting image

The secret of this light frosting is to mix it with a mixer for the recommended time at high speed. This incorporates air to make it light. 1-1/2 cups frosting is enough to frost the top of one 9 inch cake.

VEGAN FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting image

This is our all-purpose "go to" frosting. It's great for piping into lush, swirling mountains of frostiness and just as good for spreading onto a cupcake like rolling hills of heaven. It make a lot, probably 4 cups' worth, so you can halve the recipe if you are going to be spreading the frosting rather than piping it.
