Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting
Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Rebecca Jurkevich
This is our all-purpose “go to” frosting. It’s great for piping into lush, swirling mountains of frostiness and just as good for spreading onto a cupcake like rolling hills of heaven. It make a lot, probably 4 cups’ worth, so you can halve the recipe if you are going to be spreading the frosting rather than piping it. Pair with Easy Vegan Chocolate Cake.
