Whipped Cream-Like Frosting

Submitted by LoriLee in TX

"A wonderful, fluffy white frosting similar to whipped cream. It's great on Red Velvet cakes or any chocolate cake. I sometimes use it to fill in between the layers, and use another frosting on the outside."

I hate most icings, and I love whipping cream on my cakes. I remembered some sort of whipping cream icing, and this definitely wasn’t it. My friend and I are purely disgusted and I don’t recommend it. Tastes funny and unnaturally gross.

Delicious frosting! Very fluffy, and it stays soft and its not overly sweet. I have used this twice now, and it is replacing the old buttercreme recipe I've used for years.

I love the flavor and the texture of this. I wound up adding another half teaspoon of vanilla so that it would be a bit more obvious.
