Vanilla Frosting Recipes

Clean and Healthy Paleo frosting
Great for pumpkin or gingerbread spiced cakes

This cooked frosting recipe is the best, fluffiest frosting and isn't too sweet, too buttery, or too sugary - the perfect balance. Recipe by "Can You Stay For Dinner" blog

I think the title says it all! This was what my mom and I came up with for this year's birthday bash... it's vanilla to the max, but the cake itself is not super sweet - we left that for the decadent filling, frosting and ganache!

Sweet, light, and vegan. Frosting made out of protein powder.

Perfect vanilla cupcakes the way they oughta be - animal free!

Great for a treat!

Moist alternative to chocolate cake. Recipe can used to make one-pan cake, three-layer cake, and bundt cake.

Simple and delicious! - added protein powder (can be omitted if desired) Great for plain cakes and rolled sugar cookies

I was looking for a rainbow cupcake recipe that was made from scratch. I found one at bakingbites.com & have adapted it.

I finally got the recipe right, this tastes and feels like the real thing minus the fat and calories. You can use this technique with any Duncan Hines cake mix and if the mix is 160 per serving and you make 24 cupcakes, each one will have 88.50 calories. I was in the mood for a real cupcake with real frosting so my cream cheese frosting brings the calorie count on each of these cupcakes up to 139 calories. Not too shabby!!

Fancy vanilla cupcakes with "treasure" inside, great for kids.

This goes with the chocolate cake recipe

A family birthday tradition.

This is adapted from the Joy of Cooking frosting recipe. It is creamy and decadent, without being too bad for you! I used regular cream cheese, but you could also use a lower fat version to cut some calories.

Yummy, but NOT healthy

Definitely not a diet food, but - like all things - good in moderation! Perfect for parties, especially if you add a little food colouring to either the cakes or the frosting for a festive touch.

Makes 12 muffin-sized cakes, with a generous serving of frosting on each.

Simple and delicious!

A very easy recipe for frosting any cake or cupcake recipe... use paste food coloring to color so that the liquid food coloring doesn't thin out the consistency. Enjoy!
