Tangy Lemon Frosting

Monday I shared my fab lemon cupcake recipe.

I also shared that my Easter frosting FAILED.

I tried to take a short cut and turn some leftover vanilla frosting into lemon...

The results of my creativity and frugality: tasty but uuuuuugly :)

Luckily I do have a tried and true lemon frosting so you don't have to experience the same failure!

It's light & fluffy & tangy & buttery.

Tastes like spring!

Lemon Frosting

ingredients:

1/4 cup Earth Balance soy butter

1/4 cup organic vegetable shortening

3 TBSP fresh lemon juice

1 TBSP vanilla coconut milk

1 whole grated lemon peel (about 1/4 cup)

3 cups powdered sugar

instructions:

-Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer until smooth.

-Mix in lemon juice until incorporated.

-Add powdered sugar and mix until creamy.

-After adding sugar, slowly add the milk until you have a spreadable consistency.

-Stir in lemon peel.

-Frost away! This frosts about 12-16 cupcakes. I guess it just depends on how generous you are ;)
