Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
Add the pure vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt to the bowl, and continue to beat on medium speed until everything is well incorporated.
Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 2–3 minutes. This step helps to produce a light, fluffy consistency.
Taste the frosting and adjust the consistency if needed. If it's too thick, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream. If it’s too thin, add a small amount of powdered sugar and mix again.
Use immediately to frost your cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or cover and refrigerate for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before use if refrigerated.
