A simple yet wonderful icing that go on with lots of your cakes and cupcakes…This is a basic icing so I am giving it as a separate post..I recommend you to add honey in this frosting because that gives you the glossy effect,you could also add cornsyrup in this..You could make this icing and set this in fridge,but take it out of the fridge a couple hours ago before you frost any cakes…Hope you all learnt a good icing recipe now,so wait for my cakes and cupcake recipe that calls for this…
Unsalted Butter- 1 cup softened
Confectioners Sugar / Icing Sugar – 4 cup sifted
Vanilla Essence -2 tsp
Cocoa – ¾ cup
Milk – 3 to 4 tblspn
Honey-2 tblspn(optional-but I recommend adding this,it gives you the glossy effect)
Method:
In a mixing bowl add in butter and half of the sugar and beat with a electric beater till fluffy and creamy..
Add in vanilla and beat again..Now add in entire amount of cocoa and beat again till fluffy.
Pour in the milk little at a time and beat till creamy..Tip in the rest of the sugar and beat well..
If you need you could add in the honey and mix it with a wooden spoon.
Use this for any cake..

Can we use homemade white butter for substitute of unsalted butter?
@Kimmiyes u can i think, but the milk should be adjusted, because white butter has more water content
Can we use Normal powdered sugar(just grinding the granulated sugar to powder form) rather than icing sugar?
@MadhuNo icing sugar is what gives you the creamy texture to the frosting.
Hi i have a lot of margarine…which i had bought unknowingly..for frosting..can i use the same.
@Renuka Kadamyou can use margarine..
Can you pls tell me if we can use salted amul butter in place of unsalted butter in buttercream recipes….?! i know, the salty taste will come, but will it affect the texture in any way and will it do ? Thanks
@Anonymousi think u can use salted butter in frosting, since there is quite a bit of sugar going in the frosting, it wont affect the taste much..
this recipes looks still to wet and it's not holding it shape….butter cream suppose to be much thicker… so wen u pipe it out it won't be everywhere …i will be using this recipe for my cupcake, but ill will see wat consistency I've also want it
@Anonymousadd more sifted sugar
Which brand is ur electric beater?
@Chitra Shivaramakrishnani have two, i use nova and black and decker
