Ingredients
  

Instructions 

  • Step One: Beat the Butter
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter until it reaches a fluffy consistency.
  • Step Two: Add Confectioners’ Sugar
  • Mix the confectioners’ sugar in, adding one cup at a time. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Step Three: Add the Maple Syrup and Maple Extract
  • Add the maple syrup and maple extract. Beat the mixture until fully combined and the frosting has reached a fluffy consistency.
  • This buttercream frosting pairs great with a spice cake, as the maple and spice complement each other.

Notes

  • When buying the maple syrup and maple extract, you want to make sure to buy real maple and not imitation. Real maple will have a purer maple taste and isn’t packed full of added sugar like imitation maple syrup is.
  • Maple syrup can be found online and in grocery stores. Maple extract can also be found online and in most grocery stores, but it sometimes can be hard to find in stores.
  • This maple buttercream frosting can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and the freezer for up to six months. After removing from the fridge, you will want to let the frosting reach room temperature and re-whip before serving, as the frosting may have separated.
  • Maple syrup has a long shelf life. After opening your maple syrup, it is recommended to store it in the fridge, though you don’t have to. Refrigerating maple syrup discourages mold from growing and allows it to stay fresh for longer.
  • If you are looking for the perfect sweet and savory combination, maple bacon cupcakes are where it is at. The grouping of a maple cupcake, maple buttercream, and bacon pieces have become a popular specialty cupcake at many bakeries thanks to the sweet and savory balance.
  • The natural sweet flavor of maple pairs great with many different desserts. It is a popular frosting choice for many fall and winter desserts. Apple cake, spice cake, maple cake, white cake, sugar cookies, and spice cookies all taste great with maple buttercream frosting.
