====== Lemon Buttercream Frosting ======
Nicely lemony and perfectly proportioned to make the consistency I wanted with no adjustments. Halved recipe from [[https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-buttercream-frosting/|Sally's Baking Addiction]]. I thought that was plenty for 2 9" rounds but the original recipe says it's enough for one 9x13. Maybe if you want equal parts frosting and cake?

===== Ingredients =====
  * 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  * 2 1/4 c (270g) confectioner's sugar
  * 1 1/4 T fresh lemon juice (1/4 T is 3/4 t)
  * 1 T heavy cream
  * 1 t lemon zest
  * pinch of salt

===== Directions =====
  - Beat the butter until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  - Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, cream, and zest. Mix gently to combine then beat for 3 minutes.
  - Add up to 1/4 c more sugar or 1/2 T more cream if the frosting is too thin or thick.
