Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk Use fresh milk for the best flavor.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter Softened to room temperature.
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for optimal flavor.
- 2 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best.
- 1 tbsp lemon zest Make sure to zest finely.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and flour. Whisk together over medium heat until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cooled, stir in the butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
- For a fluffier texture, beat the frosting with an electric mixer for a few minutes after mixing all ingredients. This will add air and increase the creaminess.
- Spread the frosting generously onto your cooled cakes or cupcakes, and enjoy the delightful lemon flavor!
Notes
This frosting is not only delicious but also versatile! Feel free to adjust the lemon flavor to your taste, adding more zest or juice as you prefer.
