Categories     Desserts and Pastries

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup vegan butter, room temperature* (one stick) (113g)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening (113g)
4 cups powdered sugar (450g)
1.5 tbsp white vinegar (24ml)
1 tbsp lemon juice (15ml)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
OPTIONAL: 3 heaping spoons of Pillsbury or Duncan Hines cream cheese frosting - see recipe post for details (DO NOT USE IF AVOIDING SOY)

Steps:

  • Add butter and shortening to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer)
  • Mix on low/stir until completely incorporated
  • Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing on low between each addition until incorporated
  • Add your vinegar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract
  • Mix on low until completely incorporated
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of your bowl
  • Turn the mixer to medium high and let it run for 15 minutes - or until you taste test and there's no waxy mouthfeel from the shortening
  • Add the tub frosting if using, and allow mixer to run on low for ten minutes
  • Taste test! If it needs more tang, add more vinegar by the half tablespoon until your desired level of tanginess has been achieved.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding water by the teaspoon to thin, or more powdered sugar by the quarter cup to stiffen until desired consistency is reached
