### What Makes Vegan Lavender Buttercream So Special?
Traditional buttercream frosting is made with butter, sugar, and sometimes heavy cream. But vegan buttercream is just as delicious and smooth, using plant-based butter (or a butter alternative) in place of dairy butter. The addition of lavender adds a unique, floral flavor that can elevate any dessert to a whole new level.
Lavender is known for its calming and fragrant qualities, and when used in cooking and baking, it adds a gentle, aromatic sweetness that complements many flavors. In this buttercream, it pairs beautifully with the rich, creamy texture of vegan butter and powdered sugar, resulting in a light and fragrant frosting that’s as pleasing to the senses as it is to the taste buds.

– 1 cup vegan butter (softened)
