Greek Yogurt Cake Frosting

Buttercream is amazing stuff. I mean, no part of the word is wrong: it's composed of equal parts "butter" and "cream". And the actual substance is great, too: butter, confectioners' sugar, a little cream, and sometimes even pink coloring. 

Yes, I love buttercream. But today I've got to tell you that it's not the only frosting.

Greek yogurt cake frosting deserves your love, too. I would consider this more like a cream cheese frosting in that it has a tang, but the greek yogurt version has a unique texture, which is almost like a soft fondant, that makes it a fascinating food experience. I say you give it a try.

Woah! Weird and cool. I get overwhelmed by buttercream frosting sometimes, so I'll give this a shot.

I have never tried greek yogurt frosting before - but my interest is definitely piqued! I would also love a slice of the cake underneath, thank you. ;-D

Oh, love the sound of this frosting - I find buttercream is usually very sweet - have tucked this away for the next time I need a frosting.
