Description
This recipe makes the best easy vanilla buttercream frosting! I love the whipped texture for cakes and for piping on frosting. It's so simple to make homemade, fluffy frosting. This recipe shows you how to make this classic smooth frosting.
Ingredients
3 cups Confectioners' Sugar
1 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1-2 Tbsp. Whipping Cream
Instructions
In the bowl of your stand mixer using the whisk attachment cream together the confectioners' sugar and butter 3-4 minutes until creamy.
Add the vanilla and 1 tablespoon whipping cream. Beat for another minute until they are incorporated. If needed to make the frosting spreadable add 1 more tablespoon whipping cream and mix together.
Notes
I like to use the frosting immediately while it's at room temperature. You can store in a sealed container on the counter overnight if you are going to frost your cake the next day.
