I love this Basic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting recipe. This is the first buttercream I ever made way back in the 70's, when I first started baking. I always added a little lemon juice to cut the sweetness and no one knew. For the best creamy frosting make sure to whip it for at least 5 minutes. Thank you so much for bring back memories by sharing this free recipe.
