Magnolia Bakery Buttercream

Grab a cup of cocoa, and help yourself to a cookie with my favorite Magnolia Bakery buttercream frosting. I am joining Rattlebridge Farm for Foodie Friday where we were invited to share old posts for this Special Holiday Edition. The frosting recipe is very popular on my blog so I thought I should share it again.

Make your sugar cookies. Use your favorite recipe.

Decorate with Magnolia Bakery Buttercream Frosting.

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

6 to 8 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. You may not need to add all of the sugar. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly. (Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled.) Icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

MAGNOLIA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING AND MOOSEWOOD'S SIX MINUTE VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

I was intrigued with the egg-less and dairy-less Chocolate Cake recipe from Moosewood, so I gave it a try and made cupcakes. This will be my go-to cupcake recipe. Don't skip the vinegar!  

I topped them with my favorite Magnolia Bakery Buttercream Frosting  This frosting really rocks! 

The elegant paper baking cups that you see are a gift from sweet Sarah at Hyacinth For The Soul. I cut the Moosewood cake recipe in half, and it made four cupcakes in these deep wrappers.  I am squirreling the rest away for a dinner party in November ;o)  They are very sturdy and can be used for dips, fruit, nuts, ice cream, etc.  The young gal next door loves cupcakes and the color yellow. Thus the two yellow frosted cupcakes were made for her.
