Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 480 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 80 grams Raspberry jam
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed until mostly combined before increasing the speed to medium. Repeat until all the powdered sugar has been incorporated.
Step 3
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Gently fold in the raspberry jam using a spatula. For a streaked effect, fold lightly; for a more uniform color and flavor, mix fully until the jam is evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the buttercream and adjust with an additional pinch of salt or more jam if desired.
Step 6
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
