ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoons table salt
  • 1 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream

directions

Step 1

Beat butter for a few minutes with a mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed. Add 3 cups of powdered sugar and turn your mixer on the lowest speed (so the sugar doesn't blow everywhere) until the sugar has been incorporated with the butter.

Step 2

Increase mixer speed to medium and add vanilla extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of cream and beat for 3 minutes. If your frosting needs a more stiff consistency, add remaining sugar. If your frosting needs to be thinned out, add remaining cream 1 tablespoons at a time.
