It's since become known online as hot water buttercream, and I've seen it copied and renamed by a lot of bakers over the years. This is the refreshed version with clearer measurements and technique. Dissolving the powdered sugar in hot water before mixing is what eliminates the grit and gives this buttercream its smooth, stable texture, close to Swiss meringue buttercream but without the eggs or stovetop syrup. Makes about 10 cups (2.3kg), enough to crumb coat, cover, and pipe a two-tier stacked cake with an 8-inch bottom tier. Scales well, halve, quarter, or double as needed.
