Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter until smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the banana and lemon juice and continue mixing for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix until mostly incorporated (it's ok if the mixture has some small chunks of bananas).
- Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until completely incorporated. Add the vanilla and increase to medium speed and beat for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Notes
Storage: Store the buttercream in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Re-mix with the paddle attachment before using. Freeze: Store in a resealable freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
Yield: This buttercream covers 18-24 cupcakes, a 9x13-inch cake, or a two-layer 8-inch or 9-inch cake.
