Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 3
Add the pure vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt to the bowl, and continue to beat on medium speed until everything is well incorporated.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 2–3 minutes. This step helps to produce a light, fluffy consistency.
Step 5
Taste the frosting and adjust the consistency if needed. If it's too thick, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream. If it’s too thin, add a small amount of powdered sugar and mix again.
Step 6
Use immediately to frost your cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or cover and refrigerate for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before use if refrigerated.
