Maple Butter Frosting
This frosting is the perfect finish for Mother-in-law cake. It's also a tasty and slightly different frosting
for other fruit-flavored or white cakes. Please use real maple syrup; artificial maple syrup (pancake syrup) is
a waste of time and calories!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter or solid vegetable shortening
- 1 pound sifted confectioners' sugar
- 3/8 cup real maple syrup (pure, don't substitute)
- 1 tsp. vanilla (pure, don't substitute)
Blend butter or shortening and sugar in mixer or food processor. Add vanilla and maple
syrup, and beat until very smooth. Spread on
Mother-in-law cake.
It also frosts 2 layers or one 13x9 oblong cake.
