Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter
- 480 grams Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. Allow the butter to come to room temperature to ensure it is soft and easy to work with.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until it is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on a low speed. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl often to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
4. Once all the powdered sugar is added, increase the mixer speed to medium and mix for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a fluffy texture.
5. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined. Then, increase the speed to medium-high and whip for another 2-3 minutes until the buttercream is silky and spreadable.
6. Taste and adjust the flavoring if needed. You can add an extra dash of vanilla or a tiny pinch more salt to balance the sweetness.
7. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow chilled buttercream to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
