Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened to room temperature) Unsalted butter
- 4 cups (sifted) Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat well after each addition to prevent lumps.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed for another 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Step 5
If the frosting is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of heavy cream at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If too thin, gradually add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 6
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. The frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Before using, bring it to room temperature and re-whip if necessary.
