I think the recipe should definitely list 3-4 cups powdered sugar not 3/4 cup! I made it as described and used unsweetened pancake maple syrup, it wasn’t runny but it was like pure butter! Added 2.5 more cups of powdered sugar and it turned out perfectly!

Tried this flavor was good made it exactly as the recipe states but it was just like maple sweet butter. Whipped for 5 minutes. Didn’t become fluffy like frosting. Used store brand unsalted butter. Was at room temperature as well.

In reply to Dana DeVolk.

I made this recipe EXACTLY as written, with pure maple syrup, room temp but not runny unsalted margarine (that’s the one difference I had to have, since I needed my buttercream to be dairy-free), followed the directions precisely, and it came out absolutely perfect. Huge hit. Universally acclaimed. “Hints of dulce de”; “Tastes like caramel”. When I first read the recipe I also thought it had a surprisingly tiny amount of confectioners sugar, and I wasn’t sure if it would work, but I always try a recipe without changing it the first time to give it a chance – and it surprised me with how perfect it was! Not only was the taste great, it piped beautifully and held its shape not only on the fresh cake, but even for the next day or so on the little bit of cake left over. A home run.

I tried this recipe and I agree it didn’t have enough powdered sugar. I added another couple cups and a few drops of maple flavor. It was much better with the extra sugar. 🙂

Yes, maybe that did it! Good thinking!

I was thinking, and I wonder did you use pure maple syrup? I used just plain old pancake syrup that I had around, and after thinking about it, that is probably quite a bit thinner than the pure stuff. Maybe that made the difference?
