One of my most popular recipes here on MBA is my\u00a0homemade buttercream frosting<\/a>. And I get why! It\u2019s delicious, has a beautiful texture, and is so easy to make.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That classic recipe has served as a base for several other\u00a0frosting recipes<\/a>\u00a0around here:\u00a0strawberry frosting<\/a>,\u00a0brown butter frosting<\/a>, and\u00a0chocolate buttercream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since spring is just around the corner, it seemed like a good time to work on a bright, citrusy version for you. This lemon buttercream frosting just screams spring to me, and I can\u2019t stop picturing it on a beautiful layer cake as the center of an Easter spread.<\/p>\n

The best lemon buttercream frosting<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a big fan of lemon, you\u2019re gonna be a big fan of this lemon buttercream recipe.<\/p>\n

This frosting has all of the creamy, fluffy texture of my classic buttercream frosting, but with the added brightness from lemon zest and lemon juice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, if American buttercream frosting is often too sweet for you, this may be the perfect compromise. The tart lemon flavor really helps to balance out the sweetness, making for a frosting that is not too sweet and not too tart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re using it on top of cakes and cupcakes or as a filling for cookie sandwiches, this lemon buttercream is a recipe you\u2019re going to want to make over and over again.<\/p>\n
