HOW TO MAKE THIS BUTTERCREAM RECIPE
Place the cubed butter into a medium bowl and using an electric mixer beat it until pale and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
Add Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Cane Icing Sugar and beat together for 3-4 minutes until combined.
Add 1-2 Tbsp of milk to loosen the texture of buttercream (if necessary), and beat again for 2-3 minutes until you have smooth, fluffy buttercream.
TOP TIP
Add lemon zest, vanilla, almond extract, or any other flavourings to your buttercream. You can also use food colouring.
The buttercream is ready to use. Transfer it to the piping bag fitted with decorative nozzle, or use it as a filling or icing for the cakes, cupcakes, etc.
TOP TIP
Freeze any leftover buttercream for up to three months. Transfer it to zip-lock style bag or a freezer-friendly container and freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
