The Perfect Vegan Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Carolina Molea

Updated: Jun 20, 2023

This buttercream holds up like a champ in the Miami weather, which is HOT and humid all year long!

When we first started making cakes at the bakery, we cried a lot over melted buttercream and damaged cakes, but hey! Practice makes perfect, and we are the queens of stubbornness!


Ingredients


2 pounds vegan confectioners’ sugar

1 cup vegan shortening

2 tsp. vanilla extract, use clear if want white frosting

1/4 - 1/2 cup Flora vegan whipping cream

pinch salt


Here’s how to do it:

  1. Cream shortening and vanilla in mixer for 2-4 minutes.

  2. Add in powder sugar, one cup at a time. If you find your mixer struggling, slowing add in the Flora vegan whipped cream.

  3. Use more for a creamy consistency, use less for a stiff consistency.

Tip:

Make sure your vegan butter and/or shortening is at room temperature before beating it. All the lumps should be completely beaten out before adding the sugar a little at a time or it will be impossible to get a smooth consistency.


Alternate method:


Use 1/2 cup vegan butter and 1/2 cup shortening. Place room temp. vegan butter and shortening in mixer. Put entire bag of powder sugar on top, then add vanilla and 1/4 cup Flora whipped cream. Turn mixer on low and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Turn mixer up to med-high and mix for 2-4 minutes. Can add more vegan whipping cream to reach desired consistency.


How much frosting do I need?

  • 9 x 13 cake needs about four cups frosting

  • 12 x 18 cake needs about six cups frosting

  • 9-inch round layer cake needs five cups frosting

And by all means...Please do NOT use coconut oil, it will melt!

Branded traffic is the foundation of any successful digital marketing strategy. When users search for your brand name, it means they already have awareness and trust in your business. Unlike generic search queries, where users might be comparing options or searching for general information, branded searches indicate a strong intent to engage with your products or services. This results in higher conversion rates, better engagement metrics, and lower bounce rates. Branded search also improves your authority in search engine rankings, as Google recognizes your brand’s credibility and prioritizes it in results. Learn why branded traffic is so important for your business growth and how you can strengthen your brand presence.

Hair thinning was something that really affected my self-esteem. I found a detailed post on https://ways2well.com/blog/how-spironolactone-can-help-with-hormone-imbalance about using spironolactone to reduce androgen levels. After starting the treatment, I noticed a significant decrease in hair loss and even some regrowth. It's been a positive experience, and I encourage others facing hair issues to explore this option.
