Notes on the Ingredients
- Powdered Sugar : You can decide how much you want, depending on how thick you want the frosting. You’ll need between 3 and 3 1/2 cups.
- Vegan Butter : Let it soften first. If you are using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
- Vegan Milk : You should only need about a tablespoon, but you can definitely add more if the frosting is too thick.
- Vanilla Extract : to make it vanilla buttercream!
How to Make Vegan Buttercream Frosting
This frosting won’t take you more than 10 minutes to put together!
Beat the butter and vanilla together for about 2-3 minutes with a handheld or stand mixer, until the mixture is fluffy.
Add in the powdered sugar and vegan milk until it reaches the consistency and thickness you want.
Now all that’s left is to let the frosting set, and then decorate your cake or cupcakes with it! Try not to eat it all from the bowl (I know, it’s hard not to). Enjoy the delicious frosting!
Let Cakes and Cupcakes Cool Before Frosting: Frosting too quickly might make the cake and cupcakes crumble. If you want a pretty cake, wait to frost until it’s cooled.
Sift Your Powdered Sugar: Make sure to sift your powdered sugar before mixing, so that the frosting is the ultimate creamy consistency.
Soften Your Vegan Butter: Be sure that your vegan butter is soft enough to spread before mixing it. You don’t want it runny though!
If Too Thick, Add Milk: The ideal frosting is not runny, but not too thick either. If yours becomes too thick, add a splash of milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
Whip It: For super fluffy frosting, you’ll want to keep whipping it. I prefer using a stand mixer for my frosting so I can whip it for about 5 minutes.
How to Store Leftover Frosting
You can store this buttercream frosting at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer for future baking, keep it in the fridge for a couple weeks, or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Can You Freeze Buttercream Frosting?
You can freeze it! If you do, let it thaw in the fridge overnight beforehand so that it’s back to it’s smooth consistency.

Here are some great tips and tricks for the crunchiest, yummiest cauliflower wings recipes:
- Keep it chunky. When chopping up the cauliflower, don’t make the florets too small. You want the veggies small enough for 1-2 bites, but not so small they burn quickly. You can leave some stem to make it a heartier piece, too.
- Toss them together. There’s no need to individually dip cauliflower wings into sauce. You can toss them in your wing sauce in a mixing bowl for a super fast finish!
- Fresh is best. That being said, you can use frozen cauliflower florets that have been completely thawed and dried. I even bake them plain for a few minutes at 350 degrees F to make sure all the moisture is gone.
- Cornstarch optional . This helps make the crispiest cauliflower wings. However, if you can’t have it, just skip it! No need to swap.
