If you’re looking for a silky smooth buttercream frosting recipe that is not too sweet or grainy, then this recipe is it! I find traditional American style buttercreams way too sweet, so I came up with my own version that has far less icing sugar (in relation to the amount of butter) compared to more traditional recipes.
