Lemon Buttercream Frosting
- 1 cup Butter - Softened (we used Salted Sweet Cream Butter)
- 5 cups of Powdered Sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Lemon Zest
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
- In a mixer, add the butter and the lemon juice.
- Cream together on low speed until they are completely combined.
- Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is creamy.
- Add the lemon zest and 1 small drop of yellow food coloring (if desired)
- Continue to mix.
- If the frosting is too runny, add 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar. Keep adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you have the frosting at the desired consistency.
