    Brown Sugar Buttercream

    Buttercream with a Brown Sugar Twist

    Sometimes plain buttercream just won’t cut it! This Brown Sugar Buttercream is rich and creamy and holds the classic flavour of Swiss Meringue Buttercream but with a hint of caramel tones from the brown sugar.  It’s perfect for any fall-flavoured or holiday cakes and easily substitutes any of your regular buttercreams.  

    This recipe was used in my Giant Sweet Potato Casserole Cake!

    6 egg whites 

    1 ¾ cup dark brown sugar (packed) 

    ½ tsp salt 

    1 ¼ lbs unsalted butter 

    ½ tsp vanilla

    Whisk Away

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk your egg whites, brown sugar, and salt. 


    Simmer Up

    Place your mixture over a pot of simmering water.  Continue to whisk and heat until it reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.  Remove from pot. 


    Whisk It All

    Place your bowl back onto your stand mixer with the whip attachment on then whip it until it’s cool and fluffy.  The bowl could be cool/room temperature to the touch.


    Butter Makes Everything Better

    Cut your butter into sections then add them in one by one to ensure that each is completely incorporated. You might find that your buttercream is deflating from the fat in the butter but just keep whipping it!


    Vanilla

    Add your vanilla in and mix until blended.


    Congratulations!
