Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
This is the ultimate, foolproof vanilla buttercream frosting. It is stable enough for high swirls on cupcakes but light enough to melt in your mouth. With only 4 ingredients, you’ll never buy the canned stuff again!
Ingredients
1 cup salted butter softened
4 cups confectioners powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (use clear vanilla for pure white)
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Add butter into a large bowl and cream with electric hand mixer for 1 minute.
2. Add powdered sugar into the bowl, one cup at a time, and mix until fully combined.
3. Add vanilla and milk and continue to mix until very fluffy, about 2-3 more minutes.
4. Spread or pipe on cupcakes, cake, or sugar cookies.
Notes
Want to make it chocolate frosting? Add 1 1/4 cup cocoa powder when you add in the confectioners sugar.
Want to make it colored frosting? Add 3-6 drops of food coloring when you add in the milk.
For best results, sift your powdered sugar if it looks lumpy.
