Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 480 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 80 grams Raspberry jam
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed until mostly combined before increasing the speed to medium. Repeat until all the powdered sugar has been incorporated.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Gently fold in the raspberry jam using a spatula. For a streaked effect, fold lightly; for a more uniform color and flavor, mix fully until the jam is evenly incorporated.
Taste the buttercream and adjust with an additional pinch of salt or more jam if desired.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
