Lemon Buttercream

 

Have your cake and eat it too!

Yes, I know the saying is that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but I was thinking about this. Last night I asked Christopher if he wanted to have some cake with me. And by have, I meant, do you want to eat cake with me so I am not the fat kid sitting on the couch in my pajamas watching the rangers game and eating cake by myself?

Sometimes have and eat are interchangeable.

And sometimes you just need to have cake!

And that’s why I always have box cake mix in the house.

I whipped up a box white cake mix.

And then jazzed it up with homemade lemon butter cream.

I didn’t realize how easy butter cream was to make until recently.

1 stick of butter + 3 cups powdered sugar + flavoring + muscles = frosting!

Seriously.

Just let the butter soften, then either use some muscles and a wooden spoon or a hand mixer.

I vote for muscles and a wooden spoon because then you kinda got a workout in so you’re entitled to more frosting.

For a twist, instead of vanilla extract, I added 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. It gives the frosting a light, springy taste. Despite the snow they’re calling for.

Hello! It’s the end of March!

I can’t handle the snow. Or the cold!

I’m sorry. I’m having a melt down.

I need spring and sun and beach and warm.

But for now, I’ll have to settle for cake.
