If you’re looking for a silky smooth buttercream frosting recipe that is not too sweet or grainy, then this recipe is it! I find traditional American style buttercreams way too sweet, so I came up with my own version that has far less icing sugar (in relation to the amount of butter) compared to more traditional recipes. Best part is, it’s still stable enough to use for layered cakes and is great for piping too!
