Using raspberry jam in this frosting instead of fresh raspberries imparts the maximum amount of raspberry flavor while keeping the consistency thick, creamy, and easy to pipe or spread. This recipe includes just ¼ teaspoon of salt which isn't enough to make the buttercream taste salty, but is enough to significantly boost the flavor. It's just as essential in sweet foods as it is in savory foods. Salt is often left out of frosting recipes, a fact that I find puzzling because salt brings out the flavor of anything it touches. ![]() Don't use imitation vanilla which can leave a slightly bitter aftertaste. Just a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream makes this buttercream impossibly rich and creamy. I used salted butter but if you're sensitive to salt, use unsalted butter.

I cannot imagine a sweeter, more perfect Valentine's Day treat, can you? Likewise for this champagne cake, which is practically begging to be bathed in a blanket of blushing pink buttercream.īut also, consider the effect of a swirl of light pink raspberry frosting on rich red velvet cupcakes. ![]() It pairs perfectly, of course, with a classic vanilla layer cake or gluten-free vanilla layer cake.
