Homemade lemon buttercream is far superior to any store-bought variety. It’s much fluffier in texture, while still remaining rich and creamy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fully infuse the buttercream frosting with lemon flavor, I incorporated both freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest. The lemon zest is key as it imparts bold lemon flavor without the added moisture or acidity of lemon juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lemon frosting is extremely versatile as well! It’s perfect piped atop your favorite cakes, cupcakes, and cookies and can be made in advance if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n
