How to prepare:
Prepare all ingredients at room temperature.
For one portion: mix 125 g of the preparation by hand with 125 ml of water, and leave to stand at room temperature for at least one hour. Beat 150 g unsalted butter (cream) for 5 minutes until creamy. Add the above preparation to the butter in parts, mixing each part thoroughly before adding the next part. Mix together until a smooth cream forms (approx. 10 minutes).
One portion of buttercream is enough to fill and cover a 20 cm cake, or to cover approx. 12 cupcakes.
Storage recommendations:
- Once combined with the sponge cake, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The consistency remains the same.
- The buttercream alone, i.e. not combined with a cake, can only be kept in the refrigerator for 1 day after preparation.
It should be noted that buttercream becomes very hard in the refrigerator. To reuse it, it should be put in a bowl of hot water (like a bain-marie, but not on the stove), and so wait for it to warm up a little and then whip it again with the mixer.
If it has been used in a cake, it is recommended to take it out of the fridge 1 hour before cutting it. If it is a fondant cake with filling, always keep it in a box in the fridge and take it out 1 h before using it.
