Almond/Wedding Cake Frosting
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons almond extract (use pure almond extract for best flavor)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds depth)
- 4–6 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until it’s light, creamy, and fluffy.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low until incorporated. Once all the sugar is added, beat on medium-high for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the almond extract, vanilla extract (if using), and 4 tablespoons of heavy cream. Beat on medium-high for another 2–3 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more cream 1 tablespoon at a time if needed. For a super airy texture, whip on high for another 2–3 minutes.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Let come to room temp and re-whip before using.
