Berry Buttercream Frosting is perfect for frosting a berry cake.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup shortening
- 1/2 Cup real butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
- 1 dash salt (optional)
- 5 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups fresh blackberries
- 1.5 cups coarsely chopped fresh strawberries
Steps
- Cream butter and shortening, then add vanilla.
- Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed.
- Add milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until completely blended.
- TIP: To cut the sweetness I usually sprinkle some salt in the vanilla (so it will dissolve) before proceeding with recipe as instructed.
- Divide the frosting in half and fold in the blackberries and strawberries on the half you'll use to frost between the cake layers.
