Has anyone found organic cake frosting?

Question

All of the frosting at the super markets have trans fat. I would think an organic frosting would avoid this. Has anyone found an organic, or trans fat free frosting?

Answer 1

Yeah, it's called making it yourself at home, using organic sugar and butter. It's easy if you have an electric mixer. Try this:


Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups confectioners' sugar
6-8 tablespoons water, depending upon thickness you want

With electric mixer on high, beat butter until fluffy. Beat in cocoa powder and vanilla on low. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, alternating with water, until desired thickness is achieved. For thinner frosting use more water. For thicker frosting, use less water.
