Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, adding one cup at a time, and beat on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud.

Step 4

Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to the mixture and continue beating until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour in the vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then beat on medium speed until the frosting is fluffy and well combined.

Step 6

Check the consistency of the frosting. If it is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of heavy cream, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is fully incorporated, and beat the frosting for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a light, airy texture.

Step 8

Use immediately to frost your cake, cupcakes, or other baked goods, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
