How to make the world's easiest and most delicious peanut butter cake frosting!Makes enough to frost a 9" layer cake, top and middle.
1
cake
Equipment
- 1 Electric Hand Whisk or standalone mixer
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter - vegan, or use margarine, very soft
- 2 cups Icing Sugar
- ½ cup Peanut Butter
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Place the butter and peanut butter into a large mixing bowl and beat well until soft and creamy.
- Sift over the icing sugar and very slowly mix. I like to start this step by hand because the icing sugar billows up into the air and then it's just a whole new clean up job!
- Beat the icing into the butter mixture until thoroughly mixed. Add in the vanilla extract and pinch salt.
- If the mixture isn't quite thick enough, add a little more icing sugar, ¼ cup at a time, until you reach the desired thickness.
- Icing will set up on standing or when refrigerated, but is easily spreadable at this stage.
- Will keep stored in the fridge, covered, for up to a week.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
