My husband is pre diabetic so we’re trying to avoid processed sugar but it’s his birthday & I’d found a pumpkin muffin recipe to turn into a cake & just needed some frosting. This recipe worked a treat. I added grated orange zest which worked really well.

I just wanted to share that I used this frosting for a friends wedding cake and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and it looked beautiful (I wish I could share the picture with you)! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

And wondering if you’ve ever tried this with pre-made date syrup? Seems like it would make the recipe much easier. The one I have has one ingredient which is just: dates. Thinking should be the same but it doesn’t seem that thick and I’m not sure what the syrup equivalent would be to 18 dates.

In reply to B's Mama. Hi! Sorry, that sweetness can vary by syrup. I wouldn't know without testing it to give you and idea.

Hello! I have date syrup on hand. Could I use this in place of the pureed dates? How much would you suggest I use? Thanks!

Actually Melanie, I just looked up chocolate buttercream frosting recipes made with confectioner’s sugar, and recipes making a comparable amount of frosting use 2 1/2cups of confectioner’s sugar, which is 293 grams of sugar. So yes, actually, 300 grams is about right. Perhaps you’d better think so, after all. I’ll be trying this recipe in the chocolate version for my mom’s birthday cake later this week. Thank you Kate, for all your delicious recipes – I’ve cooked many of them over the years. I came specifically to your blog this evening to find a frosting recipe, because I knew whatever you’d’ve come up with would be stellar. I’ll come back and leave some stars once I’ve made it!

SOOO Yummm… Carrot cake is my all time favorite so I’m picky when it comes to what I like… but this recipe is TOPS!
we made this Date icing (i added some freshly squeezed Lemon juice to the icing which really brightened up the flavour and added a bit of ZING… Im partial to lemon in cream cheese icing) and your favorite carrot cake… such a delicious combination! definatly added to my list of MUST MAKE AGAIN AND AGAIN! Thankyou for sharing this with us!
