Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (225 g) vegan butter, stick-style, softened
  • 4 cups (480 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tbsp unsweetened dairy-free milk

Method
 

  1. Beat the vegan butter in a large bowl on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. With the mixer on low, gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time. Increase speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla and salt. If the frosting is too thick, add dairy-free milk 1 tbsp at a time until spreadable. Spread or pipe onto cooled cake or cupcakes.

Notes

If the frosted cake sits out for more than a day, the buttercream can soften in warm weather. A short chill in the fridge helps it stay firm. Re-whip any leftover frosting that has been refrigerated to bring back fluffiness.
