Here’s That Perfect Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting Recipe You’ve Always Been Looking For

How about that little piece of perfection? This is just the icing to make any cake just that! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Let's Get Started…

Ingredients To Gather:

1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened

3 – 4 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted

2 teaspoons vanilla

pinch salt

2-3 tablespoons milk, heavy cream, or half-and-half

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Place softened butter into the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn mixer on medium and cream the butter until it is smooth and has lightened in color, about 3 minutes.
Add confectioner's sugar, ½ a cup at a time. After each cup has been incorporated, turn mixer on the highest speed setting and for about 10 seconds to lighten the frosting.
Add vanilla and a pinch of salt and mix until well-incorporated.
Add the milk, heavy cream or half-and-half until the frosting has reached the preferred consistency. For a firmer frosting, add more confectioner's sugar, a ¼ cup at a time. For a softer frosting, add more milk or cream, a tablespoon at a time.

Finished!
