A basic buttercream recipe, with options of different flavourings. This recipe doubled is supposedly sufficient to sandwich a 15-18cm (6-7inch) cake, but I have only used for cupcakes so far. Butter could be used instead of margarine, but I think it tastes better with margarine. Ingredients:
50 g margarine |
100 g icing sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon almond essence |
1 teaspoon lemon juice & finely grated lemon zest |
1 teaspoon orange juice & finely grated orange zest |
2 teaspoons coffee extract |
25 g melted chocolate |
2 teaspoons cocoa & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence |
4 walnuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Cream the margarine, gradually sift in the sugar, and cream together.
2. Add flavouring and/or colouring, and stir.
3. Use for your cupcakes/cakes, etc.
