BUTTER CREAM ICING (BUTTERCREAM FROSTING)
I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)

Steps:
- Place the egg whites and 1/3 cup of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the egg whites reach the soft peak stage.
- Meanwhile, pour the remaining sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and bring to the soft-ball stage, without stirring, 240 degrees F.
- The egg whites and syrup should be ready at about the same time. If one is ready before the other then you can remove the pan from the heat or stop whipping for a few minutes.
- Continue to whip the egg whites on medium-high speed and slowly drizzle in the hot syrup, aiming the syrup between the side of the bowl and the beaters. Continue to whip until both the bottom of the bowl and the mixture are cool, 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should be thick and will form firm peaks at this point. Beat in the salt. At this point you have an Italian meringue.
- While still beating on medium-high, add the butter, a few pieces at a time. As the butter is added, the buttercream may appear to thin out some, but it will thicken into firm peaks once all of the butter is added. Beat in the vanilla extract. If the buttercream is still too loose, beat on high speed until thickened.
- Use right away or refrigerate in an airtight container overnight. The buttercream may need to be beaten slightly to smooth out before using.

AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
American buttercream is simply a combination of butter, powdered sugar, vanilla (or other flavoring), and usually a bit of milk or cream

Steps:
- Optional- As mentioned above, I like a cream cheese version of this frosting best. The cream cheese adds to the creamy texture, and cuts down on the sweetness just a bit. If desired, for a very light cream cheese flavor add 1/2 block (4 oz). cream cheese, leaving the other ingredients (as listed above) the same. For a more traditional cream cheese flavor, reduce the butter to 1/2 cup, and add 1 block (8 oz.) of cream cheese. If using a full block of cream cheese, you can reduce the cream or milk to 1 tablespoon total.
- Flavoring options- An almost unlimited number of flavoring options can be added in addition to, or instead of the vanilla. Orange and/or lemon zest, citrus extracts, mint extract, coconut extract or the seeds of a vanilla bean are all wonderful options. In most cases I'll still add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, then 1/2 teaspoon of the other flavoring. For zest, add about 1 teaspoon fresh zest. For chocolate buttercream, add 1/2 cup (good quality) unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Directions-.
- * In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, beat butter (on medium speed) until completely smooth (30 seconds to a minute). (If you are adding cream cheese, add it now, then beat until smooth).
- * Add salt (if needed).
- * One cup at time, add 2 cups of powdered sugar, beating after each addition.
- * Add vanilla, or other flavorings and beat to combine.
- * Add about 1 tablespoon of cream, and continue beating.
- * Add the remaining 2 cups powdered sugar, one at a time.
- * Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons cream until desired consistency is reached. If you want to pipe the frosting on cupcakes, the frosting should be nice and thick. Continue to beat another minute or so. The frosting should now be smooth and fluffy.
- Troubleshooting-.
- * If your frosting is not smooth, it is likely because the butter was not fully smooth before adding the other ingredients.
- * If your frosting will not hold up when piped on cupcakes, your frosting has too much liquid or is too warm. Put entire bowl of frosting in the fridge for 15-20 minutes and it will stiffen up. If it is still too thin, then add 1/4 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar, beat well.

- Add the cream cheese and work it in - don't beat it in, just slowly mix with a wooden spoon. Depending on how soft the mixture is, you may want to put it in the fridge for 10 mins at this point. If it's runny, it will firm up again. It should be spreadable and not run off the cake.

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERCREAM ICING WITHOUT POWDERED SUGAR
From food.onehowto.com
- Before starting to prepare the ingredients to make buttercream icing without powdered sugar, you must bear in mind that the proportion of syrup must be equal to that of butter.If you don't know or remember how to make syrup, do not worry. You only need water and regular white sugar - not icing sugar: learn more in our article on how to make syrup at home. Once you have your homemade syrup ready, you can continue working on your icing.
- It is important that you keep the butter at room temperature in order to beat it more easily. If you have forgotten to take it out of the fridge, you can heat the butter in the microwave. Be very careful not to overdo it, because you'll need to make a cream, not an oil or liquid.In order to make buttercream icing without powdered sugar, the butter should be soft but still solid and workable.
- And so, beat the butter with the help of a whisk - an electric one or the food processor whisk will always be of added help. Your goal is to achieve a creamy texture, never a liquid one.
