Approximately 2 cups of frosting (enough for 12-16 cupcakes or one 8-inch cake)
BeginnerThis great recipe is so simple to make only a few ingredients. Add some food coloring for color or add heavy cream to soften out the icing. Try adding other flavorings to spice up this versatile frosting. Great for carrot cakes, zucchini bread, cupcakes, and other spice breads. Stands up well to heat.
