I’ve made this twice now and love it!! Pairs well with marble cake and chocolate. I whip for five minutes and it’s not grainy. Delicious!

I prefer buttercream frosting made with brown sugar. I have found that after I cream the brown sugar and butter well, if I stop there and leave it sit for about five minutes, then continue with the recipe as directed, then the frosting is smooth and creamy…not grainy at all. It gives the brown sugar a few minutes to fully dissolve and incorporate with the butter before adding the powdered sugar.

Ok,not a know it all at baking so HELP! I want to make a carrot cake but do not like cream cheese frosting. I am thinking this would be great but not sure it would be spicy enough. I think yes

In reply to Ashley. I too had problems with brown sugar not blending. After refrigerating I reblended, added more milk and proceeded to whip it a bit more. This worked. I also made with 1/2 browned butter and a touch of cinnamon. So delicious!

I ground the brown sugar in my coffee grinder first and that worked great to make sure there were no brown sugar lumps and the frosting was nice and smooth!

In reply to Shirley. Why not use Land O'Lakes cinnamon butter?

I see someone asked if the frosting could be less sweet. My husband asks me the same thing. How could frosting be less sweet when it is total sugar. Use your head.

I make buttercream often and experiment as much. I like to use heavy whipping cream in place of milk. I also whip the devil out of it with my kitchenaid for about 5 mins once I have it at the consistency I desire. That effectively removes the grainy texture form my frosting. I hope that helps!

In reply to Shirley. I love the idea of adding cinnamon. I am going to try that next time.
