Recipe's preparation

  1. 1. Cream icing sugar and butter together on speed 4 for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and beat for a futher 10 seconds. If using cocoa or fruit rind, at this to the TM with the butter and icing sugar.

  2. 2. Insert the butterfly attachment. Turn to speed 4, and while blades are running (speed 4) add 2 tablespoons of whipping cream [if desired] and any liquid flavourings you wish to use through the lid and beat for 10 to 15 seconds/speed 4. Do not beat for longer then 20 seconds.

     

  3. 3. Spread or pipe on a 8" cake or pipe or 12 cupcakes. This allows a generous serving!

    Sprinkle with decorations if wished.

Tip

This makes a very generous amount of icing. If you want a smaller amount of icing, use 250 grams of icing sugar with 150 grams butter.

Dry optional flavourings can be added at stage 1:

2 Tablespoons cocoa, 2 Tablespoons orange rind, or 2 tablespoons lemon rind.

Lliquid flavourings can be added at stage 2 with the cream:

vanilla essence, rose essence, etc.I have used three pureed strawberries and one teaspoon of vanilla essence. Delicious.

I sprinkled the frosting with dried orange rind in the picture. To make the orange rind mix, I mixed orange rind and sugar, and dried the mix in a 50C oven for half an hour.

    Thank you for the great recipe. It’s so delicious and easy, I reduced icing sugar to 300grams as I ran out of icing sugar but came out perfect and not overly sweet!

    hbridger82:I have not tried with this recipe, but I usually substitute Sunflower Seeds or Sunflower Seed Paste (can be purchased as No Nut Butter) for peanut butter. Works well.

    hbridger82: I have not tried in this recipe, but Sunflower Butter usually works as a nut-free substitute.

    Worked really well. i didn't add the cream as I didn't have any just a bit of milk instead. There was heaps of leftovers after icing 26 cupcakes.
