buttercream filling

Sweet frosting layer

Buttercream filling is a rich, sweet mixture of butter and sugar used between cake layers or inside pastries.

The basic formula combines creamed butter with powdered sugar, though variations incorporate egg whites (Swiss or Italian buttercream) or egg yolks (French buttercream) for smoother textures.

The cake had three layers with vanilla buttercream filling between them.
