Ingredients:
- 2 cups of granulated or crystallized sugar (~400 grams)
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
Steps:
Sift your cornstarch.
Breakdown any major clumps of sugar, to ensure the best result.

Ingredients:
- 1/3 of a cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
Steps:
Pour the heavy cream onto the chocolate chips.
Put this mixture in the microwave for 30 second intervals.
After the first 30 seconds, give a light 10 second mix.
Put the mixture in the microwave for another 30 seconds.
Mix more vigorously. In the starting you will get a light brown colour, but after mixing, you will acheive a silky brown colour.
Put this mixture back in the microwave if you still see some clumps.
Repeat step six until your mixture is smooth. This step will vary for everyone, as every microwave is different.
If you are using this ganache for a drip cake, let it cool at room temperature for 5 minutes, then put it in the fridge for an additional 5-10 minutes. This will ensure that your ganache does not melt the buttercream off you cake. If you let your ganache sit in the fridge for too long, and it is no longer in it's silky consistency, put it back in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup Vegan Butter
- 1/4 cup Aquafaba
- 2 and a half to 3 cups of icing sugar (also known as powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar)
- 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract

Stand mixer or an electric hand mixer
Mixing bowl
Spatula
Steps:
Beat the vegan butter using an electric mixer, or a stand mixer until it is creamy.
Add in the aquafaba, until the mixture is well combined.
Add in the icing sugar (small portions at a time, so you can avoid pressure on your machine, icing sugar clouds, and pressure in your bowl).
Scrape the sides of the bowl using a spatula. This will ensure that no icing sugar is left on the sides of your mixing bowl.
Add the vanilla and lemon extract.
Keep whipping the buttercream until you have the desired amount of fluffiness. Keep ub mind that the longer you whip, the more fluffy your buttercream will get.
Your vegan American buttercream is now complete!! If you are saving this buttercream for a later use, store it in an air tight container. If you do not have an air tight container, cover the top of your mixing bowl with cling wrap. Add food colouring or food gel, if you want a coloured buttercream.
