Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
Step 3
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the frosting becomes light, fluffy, and fully blended.
Step 5
Taste the frosting and, if needed, adjust by adding a pinch more cinnamon or a drop of cream for your desired flavor and consistency.
Step 6
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
