HOW TO MAKE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (230 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 3 cups (360 grams) powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt adjust to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth.
• Add in the powdered sugar and mix on low speed at first, then increase to medium speed and continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture starts to come together.
• Add in the heavy cream (start with 2 tablespoons and add a little more if needed), vanilla extract, and salt and continue mixing on medium-high speed for another minute or until everything is well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

NOTES

• Frosting can be made 1-2 days in advance, cover tightly and transfer to the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before frosting cupcakes/cakes.
• Frosting will also freeze well for 2-3 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature and mix well before frosting cupcakes/cakes.
