Hey folks if you remember the the powdered unrefined sugar I had made Powdered Sugar Without Using White Sugar the post is right here. You will need this in order to proceed. There is one in the store too that can also use a powdered sugar substitute as well also.
Since I am frosting a small cake that I do not need to make a large batch of icing. Some say frosting too which is totally ok because I call it either or and it is just a simply delicious topping on any cake or cupcake. You will also need 1 tsp of oil of either grapeseed, macadamia nut, coconut or almond oil, 4 pats of butter.
This gets softened and creamed before you add your powdered sugar substitite also after the butter is softened and creamed then you can switch to an electric hand mixer for the ease of mixing on low. The recipe in the link give or take is 1/4 cup of this powdered sugar substitute and you can use the same amount too for the storebought too. I seen it is sold on ebay and amazon.
If it is not available at the grocery store you go to then ask the store manager to carry it for you. To the creamed sugar powdered sugar subtitute in the bowl add 1 pinch each of cream of tartar and xanthan gum which is a stablilizer. Take 1 pinch of nido and mix with 1 tsp of water and add to the mixture in the bowl. Add 1 drop of alcohol free vanilla essence and turn back on the mixer at low speed and beat some more until it is well combined.
This is the basic buttercream icing made without any type of that offensive white sugar. If you want to add extras then you can if you wish depending on the type of cake you are making. You can add either 1 pinch of food coloring if you want a very festive icing or even 2 pinches of unsweetened cocao powder. Cocoa nibs can be added to the icing and so can either grated citrus rinds plus other alcohol free essences of either almond, orange or pineapple perhaps.
The names are asli and sac. they can be found at any Indian and Pakistani grocery stores. Enjoy this on any type of cake you will bake.
