80g butter, softened
120g icing sugar, sifted
Zest of 1 lemon
1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Cream the butter with an electric hand mixer for 1 minute on high until creamy and light in colour. If your butter is too cold or firm to whip, then place in the microwave for one or two 10-second bursts to soften it.
Add the sifted icing sugar, lemon zest and juice and beat to form a smooth icing. Add a little more lemon juice to taste for a more pronounced flavour.
Spread the buttercream on top of cakes, sandwich between cookies or place into a piping bag for more intricate decorations.
Notes: This recipe makes enough buttercream for a 20cm round or square cake, a 21 x 11cm loaf cake or about 6 cupcakes. For vegan-friendly icing, replace the butter with a plant-based alternative. Flora plant butter is our go-to!
