Instructions
- Beat the butter in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, extract, and salt. Beat to combine.
- With the mixer on low, start adding the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until all of the sugar has been incorporated. Start mixing on medium. Beat the buttercream until it is light and creamy, 5-10 minutes.
Notes
- *The lemon extract adds an addition punch of lemon flavor, but if you don’t have any or don’t want to add it, you can leave it out.
- You can add a few drops of yellow food coloring to help color the buttercream, but it's not necessary.
