You can use the base of this recipe to make almond and/or vanilla buttercream frosting. The vanilla works wonderfully with most any cake flavor. The almond is highly recommended with a chocolate or devil's food cake. Note that the entire recipe makes 7 1/2 cups of frosting. I discovered this recipe in Bon Appetit, 2004. Ingredients:
3 cups unsalted butter, room temperature |
10 1/2 cups powdered sugar (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds) |
3 tablespoons whipping cream |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
6 drops yellow food coloring |
Directions:
1. For base frosting:.
2. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy.
3. Gradually beat in sugar, then cream and vanilla.

7. For almond frosting:.
8. Mix almond extract into second bowl of base frosting. Mix in yellow food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until desired shade is reached.
