  • Here's how I make every batch of my American buttercream! Over the years I've tweaked the recipe and process, so I figured I share my favorite (and super easy) 5-ingredient frosting recipe.

    Hi! I’m making a wedding cake for my niece, she wants a semi naked cake, to look somewhat like a birch tree, she wants chocolate cake with some sort of buttercream. Of all the types of buttercreams, what would you say is the best one to use….the meringue buttercream, the American buttercream… etc.? It’s going to be around 78° that day but I’m pretty sure there will be air-conditioner. Also, how to get it to be more white than yellow? Thank you in advance 🫶🏼
    Ps you do beautiful work!! Great videos!

      Lol if you use butter it is gonna taste like butter 😅 alternatives would be vegan butter or margarine. Some people say adding extracts like vanilla will reduce that buttery smell and taste but it doesn't for me.

      @@bakingwithme1337 I find you don’t need any milk because with less powdered sugar it’s not as stiff and doesn’t need it. And I’m not sure if it would make less as I have never made both side by side but it should still be enough to frost a cake with.

    No need to sieve powdered-sugar or flour in modern times. So funny that people still do that. I did for years, and NEVER found even a single clump...so I quit doing it. Absolutely no difference in my baking. Thanks so much for this recipe. I use it when I make butter-pecan cake.
