    Whipped Vanilla Buttercream

    Whipped Vanilla Buttercream

    This is a variation of Whimsical Bakeshouse's house buttercream.  It is a lighter texture than my "Classic Vanilla" or "Fluffy Vanilla" frostings.  It is also less sweet. **Keep in mind that this is a NON-Crusting buttercream.  Enjoy!

    6 cups confectioner's sugar (1 ½ lbs)

    ½ teaspoon popcorn salt (unflavored)

    3 tsp. flavoring (I've used 2 teaspoon vanilla plus 1 teaspoon lemon or Magic Line brand Creme Boquet)

    ¾ c. boiling water

    2 ¾ c. high-ratio or regular vegetable shortening

    1 ½ sticks unsalted butter that has been sliced into 1 inch pieces and chilled slightly

    *********

    In a mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, and flavorings.

    With a whisk attachment, add and whip at low speed:

    ¾ c. boiling water--whip until smooth & cool.

    Add the following and whip until smooth:

    2 ¾ c. shortening

    1 ½ sticks unsalted butter that has been cut into 1 inch pieces, slightly chilled. (6 oz)

    Increase the speed to medium- high and whip until frosting is light and fluffy, and has doubled in volume (10-20 minutes)

    Yield: 9 cups of frosting.  Store up to two weeks in the refrigerator (tightly covered).
