Ingredients

This recipe is perfect. It's a real buttercream that we love for birthday cakes and logs. Its consistency is perfect. I scent it with orange liqueur, my sweet lovers' favorite flavor. Thank you. -

I adjusted the proportions based on the amount I wanted to make, and it was perfect! My suggestion: 200 g of butter, 100 g of sugar, and three egg yolks. 300 g of butter for four people seems excessive to me. -

Response to Brigitte The recipe is for about 4 people, depending on everyone's appetite, but it's more about the proportions to consider rather than the number of guests. -

Awesome...!!! It is so difficult to find a buttercream recipe... not too extravagant!! ... reading the comments from users... You can try this great recipe, success guaranteed!!! My suggestion: A Flavorful Treat with Marsala... To Make Strawberry Napoleon. I Used Salted Butter (Salt Crystals) Which Adds a Bit of Crunch. -

Thank you A big thank you for all your excellent recipes. I will follow your advice and indeed put the eggs in the butter (I was doing the opposite!).
