Tips:

  • Soften the butter to room temperature: This will make it easier to cream together with the other ingredients.
  • Gradually add the molasses: This will help prevent the frosting from becoming too thin or runny.
  • Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: The frosting will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Molasses butter cream is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking by adding different flavors or extracts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, molasses butter cream is a great frosting to try.
