Spice Cake with Russian Buttercream

I wanted a spice cake but didn’t want to use cream cheese frosting (as it usually pairs well) so I decided to give Russian Buttercream a try! Super easy, very smooth, happy with the outcome.

This is seriously sooo gorgeous omg

Usually I want to see a crosscut but DAMN this is beautiful.

I’ll update once I cut into it. I didn’t realize how much frosting it was going to take considering it’s a layer cake, and I needed to frost the outside to ensure the rosettes would stick and I ended up running out lol. I had my wife grab me more ingredients on her way home from work so I didn’t finish until late last night.

Russian buttercream? I’ve never even heard of that one! The cake looks absolutely gorgeous.

What is Russian buttercream and how do you make it?

Also, updates when you have the first bite, please.
