buttercream cake
Rich frosted dessert
A buttercream cake is a cake frosted with buttercream—a rich, creamy icing made by whipping butter with sugar and flavorings.
The term emphasizes the frosting rather than the cake itself, which may be vanilla, chocolate, or any flavor.
Buttercream cakes are standard for birthdays and celebrations: She ordered a buttercream cake with roses piped around the edges.
