Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or more, as needed
Instructions
- Measure out the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, start to combine the butter into the powdered sugar.
- With the mixer on, slowly stream in your milk tablespoon by tablespoon until it starts to come together and look creamy.
- If it hasn’t come together, add another tablespoon, mix and wait it out. After about 2 or 3 tablespoons, your frosting should be thick enough to hold its shape, but light enough to have a butter knife or rubber scraper run through it with ease.
- Once you reach this point, you are done and the buttercream is ready to use.
Notes
- One frosting recipe will frost:
- 1 2-layer 8-inch cake OR
- 1 9x13 cake OR
- 12 cupcakes using a piping bag OR
