   to Agave Conversion

Recipe courtesy of Ania Catalano (author of Baking with Agave Nectar)

Makes 2 cups (frosts one 9” layer cake)

Ania says, “This is my favorite frosting.  It’s a real buttercream, rich and creamy, but not too sweet.  It’s great on any cake or cupcake.”

½ cup unsalted butter

6 tbl. Madhava's Light Agave Nectar

1 cup nonfat dry milk

1 ½ tsp. Vanilla extract

4 tbl. Whole milk

pinch of sea salt

Cream the butter with an electric mixer until light in color.  Slowly add the agave nectar and beat until fluffy, about one to two minutes.

Gradually add the dry milk and beat again.  Add the vanilla extract and the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until completely blended.  Add the salt, turn the mixer to high speed, and beat about two minutes, or until very fluffy.
