    500g icing sugar
    1 tspn real vanilla extract
    Small drop of food colour paste, optional

    I love this butter cream!!! It's a simple, delicious, never fail, every time! Has anyone doubled the recipe with success? I have a big cake to ice this morning.

    So impressed! Although this makes half the amount I usually make in my stand mixer, the time it takes is a fraction of what the stand mixer takes, it's quieter (bonus with 2 littlies!) and is spot on with the ratio quantities and ingredients I usually use. I had tried a lot of other recipes and never could get it to work in thermomix - so had resigned myself that buttercream would have to forever be done in the good old kenwood chef. Well not anymore!! Thankyou so much for sharing! I was dubious about whether it would whip it enough to be light and creamy but yes! The method is exactly what it needs and perfect piping every time tmrc_emoticons.)
