Vegan Swiss Meringue Buttercream Recipe for Cakes and Muffins

Vegan Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Preparing the base of cake is easier than preparing the toppings and properly designing it on the top of the base. So, for this event, I prepared the vegan Swiss meringue buttercream. For the ones who are less sweet-tooth but likes to have mild sweet cakes, this is the best recipe for you. You can prepare a healthy base like the rhubarb cake and have this frosting as the topping for the cake. This not only makes it healthy, but also will suit best to your sweet buds.

This dairy-free, egg-free as well as nut-free frosting will give you a flavory and textured cake. Unlike other frostings, this vegan buttercream frosting doesn’t taste super sugary nor does it taste completely sugar-less. For this, I add aquafaba in my frosting that gives that frosting its required sugar levels and it also works as a vegan alternative to eggs. So it works 2-way round.

The icing you get with this recipe is fluffy, light and melts quickly in mouth. While decorating this icing, you can also put over some vegan custard in the center of the icing for different look. There are different ways of preparing this recipe. American way, Italian way, Swiss way, may be more (Can’t be sure). I found Italian way quite difficult to prepare so, I prepare in the following form.
