Betty’s Spiced Buttercream Frosting Recipe

post Category: Hot Coffee Recipes post Comments (25) postNovember 13, 2011

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Spiced Buttercream Frosting, using some spices from “the spice island of the Caribbean,” Grenada. This is a wonderful version of buttercream frosting, with a little orange juice, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon added! You will love this special twist to an old favorite! Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature 3 cups confectioners sugar 1 tablespoon orange juice ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Combine 1 cup butter with 3 cups confectioners sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Add 1 tablespoon orange juice. Beat until spreading consistency. Beat in ¼ teaspoon ground cloves and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. This is a beautiful and delicious frosting for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and fruit and nut breads. I will be uploading a Mothers Day cake tomorrow that is perfect for using this frosting! Much love, Betty 

@Yeabuddy1 You can reduce the sugar, but you must reduce the butter, accordingly. What you will get is less frosting. This is classic buttercream frosting; you may be able to change it in some way (using sugar substitute), so that it will have less sugar. Thanks for the comment!

@hithisisme2009 There is a lot of sugar, but there is also a lot of butter. For buttercream frosting you can cut them both down, but then all you have accomplished is that you have less frosting…Thanks for your comment!
