Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the butter is at room temperature to make it easier to blend.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually sift the powdered sugar into the butter, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. This helps avoid powdered sugar clouds and ensures a smooth consistency.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium and continue mixing for another 2-3 minutes, making the mixture light and airy.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Beat on low speed until the liquids are combined, then increase to medium-high speed and mix for another 2-3 minutes until the buttercream becomes silky and spreadable.
Step 6
Taste the buttercream and adjust the sweetness or vanilla flavor if needed. If the consistency is too thick, add a small additional splash of heavy cream (1-2 teaspoons at a time). If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar (1 tablespoon at a time).
Step 7
Once the buttercream is ready, use it immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring it back to room temperature and re-whip before using.
