Raspberry Buttercream Recipe
The perfect compliment to my Raspberry White Velvet Cake.
As with the cake, the icing can be flavored the same with chocolate or fresh berries.
For the best results with the icing, use Crisco and not store brand shortening. Make sure to mix the icing at least 15-20 minutes for silky and creamy icing.
If you intend to decorate the cake with flowers and such, the icing can be thinned using 2 tbsp. of evaporated milk or water. (I recommend evap. milk to keep the creamy texture.)
Ingredients
- 1 c. shortening
- 1 1/2 tsp. CLEAR Vanilla
- 1/2 c. (1 stick ) butter,unsalted, room temp.
