This is the frosting for the Coconut-Citrus Cupcakes. Technically, you could do whatever citrus-y flavor you want, but I did lime and I think that it came out SO GOOD! I know that it doesn't sound the best but... I'm really bad at naming things. I'm a "call it what it is" kind of person. Anyway... On with the recipe!!
Lime Buttercream Frosting
Ingredients
¼ cup (½ stick) butter, room temperature
¼ cup shortening
2-3 cups powdered sugar (more buttery, less sugar; sweeter, more sugar)
½ tsp coconut extract (optional)
zest of 1 lime (or whatever citrus fruit you're using)
1 tbsp lime juice (measurements may vary depending on what fruit you're using)
Directions
Put the butter and the shortening in a bowl.
Mix with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high until blended and fluffy.
Add the zest and 1 cup of sugar.
Mix until well blended.
Add remaining sugar, coconut extract (if using), and juice.
Mix well.
You're done!
Pictures will come soon!
