Vegan Vanilla Frosting
This Vegan Vanilla Frosting is the perfect dairy free buttercream for all of your decorating needs. This is the perfect vegan cake frosting!
Ingredients
- 2 Sticks of Earth Balance Buttery Spread room temperature
- 4 Cups Powdered Sugar Sifted
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 tablespoon Plant Milk of Choice
Instructions
- Cream the Earth Balance in the bowl of your mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl after 30 seconds to ensure even creaming. Next, add sifted powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, letting the sugar incorporate before adding the next cup.
- Once all the powdered sugar is in the bowl, mix on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, stopping every minute or so to scrape the bowl down to ensure that all of your buttercream is incorporating air evenly.
- After about 3 minutes, your buttercream will still be pretty thick. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the vanilla extract 1 teaspoon at a time, fully incorporating the first before adding the second. Your buttercream should start to noticably get lighter here. If you have achieved your desired buttercream consistency, stop here.
- If you want your buttercream to be a little lighter, add your plant milk of choice 1 tablespoon at a time, incorporating completely before adding another tablespoon, until you achieve your desired consistency.
- And now you’re ready to frost away!
