Can you use margarine instead of butter in cream cheese frosting?

Answer 1

The butter in buttercreme icing is just used as a flavor additive. I would be careful using margarine that may have a different taste. I would advise using a butter-flavored margarine if you decide to make the substitution.

Answer 2

Technically, yes, though it does depend on a few things. First, butter will give the buttercream a buttery flavour. Margarine might not taste as good. Some margarines taste better than others, though many people think butter is better.

Also, buttercream assumes you are using a fat taht is about the consistency of butter: if you try to use the spreadable margarine in a tub, you will not get a good result. It will be too soft and your icing might slide right off your cake. Butter will give a more predictable result.

Answer 3

Yes, use the same amount of margarine in the recipe that it calls for butter. Margarine is a butter substitute.
