How to Make Veronica's Lemon Buttercream Frosting
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Gradually add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for another 2-3 minutes, until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- If the frosting is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk or lemon juice at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time.
- Frost your cake and enjoy!
