Ingredients
Steps
- Soften 1 cup of butter: The quickest way to soften butter is to place it in a microwave-safe dish and microwave it for 10 to 30 seconds. If you don’t have a microwave, cut the butter into small pieces and leave it on the counter for 4 hours before using it.
- Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together: Put the softened butter in a large bowl and start beating with an electric mixer. Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar while mixing. Start at a low speed, then increase to a medium speed once the sugar is incorporated with the butter.
- Add 2 tablespoon of whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract: Beat the mixture until the frosting is fluffy and one uniform color. If it spreads thickly and evenly off a knife, it’s good to go.
- Toss in additional flavors : This step is optional but can add a special flair to traditional cake frosting. Use a flavor that compliments your cake, or add food coloring that matches the occasion’s decoration.
- Store buttercream frosting in an airtight container: Believe it or not, buttercream doesn’t have to go into the fridge immediately. Once made, this cake frosting can last at room temperature in an airtight container for 2 days. Place any remaining frosting or cake in the fridge after 2 days to be enjoyed for at least another week.
