Vegan Vanilla Icing Recipe
Here is an easy and delicious vegan vanilla icing recipe. The best thing about it is that you can add a few drops of regular food coloring rather than the paste color and it still turns out wonderfully creamy.
Vegan Vanilla Icing Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup margarine softened ( I like earth balance )
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or any other extract that you like)
- 5-6 drops of food color (optional)
Directions
- Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl
- Using an electric mixer, blend until creamy
- Adjust ingredients if necessary
On a warm day you may have to chill the bowl to keep the margarine from melting

Hi. I just tried this recipe, except I used All-Vegetable shortening instead of the margarine and I had to add a little bit of water to get it to the consistency that I wanted, but it came out just as good, if not better than some of my non-vegan recipes. Thank you for posting this recipe. My sister-in-law is vegan and I am going crazy trying to find recipes that WORK for her cake. I’ve spent more money and time on this cake than any other, but once I find some good recipes, I’m using them. Your recipe is definately a keeper. Thank you.
Good morning Brandi. I’m so happy that this worked out for you. I’m sure your friend will appreciate the care and love that you’ve put into making her cake. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you get a chance to take a picture I would love to see how your project turned out.
