The BEST buttercream frosting
4 ingredients is all you need to make this classic frosting.
Ingredients
- 6 cups powdered sugar - sifted - do not skip the sifting
- 2 cups unsalted butter - soft
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (pure) or another flavor if you choose
- 4 tbsp heavy whipping cream - room temp
Instructions
- prep ingredients - make certain the butter is soft, the cream is room temp and sift the powdered sugar
- butter - whisk until super creamy
- low speed - add in the sifted powdered sugar a 1/2 a cup at a time - scrap down the sides as you go along
- med speed - once it is all added turn the speed up to med and beat for about 3 minutes
- vanilla & half the cream - add in and beat for another minute
- taste and check consistency - add more cream in one tablespoon at a time until you reach the consistency you are looking for.
- and you are done!!
- * If you need to double it - I would make 2 seperate batches.
