Vanilla Frosting
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4–6 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened butter on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until it’s light, pale, and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed until fully combined.
- Once all the sugar is in, increase to medium-high speed and beat for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and 4 tablespoons of heavy cream. Beat on medium-high for another 2–3 minutes until the frosting becomes fluffy and smooth.
- If the frosting is too thick, add more cream 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached. For an extra whipped texture, beat an additional 2–3 minutes on high speed.
- Use right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
