Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, with the mixer on medium speed, whip the butter for 2 minutes until it is almost white in color. Make sure the butter is at room temperature, but not melted.
- Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk. Beat on low speed for 3-5 minutes, adding in the last tablespoon of milk if the buttercream needs to be thinner.
- Spread the frosting on a cake or pipe on cupcakes.
Notes
- *I usually use heavy cream. If the milk has a higher fat content (such as heavy cream as compared to 2% milk), you may need to add more because it is thicker.
- *Recipes makes about two cups.
