Buttercream Frosting
A very basic buttercream frosting - no eggs, no heating required!
Ingredients
- 0.5 c (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 4 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions
- Cream butter in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in powdered sugar in small batches - it will fly everywhere!
- Add cream and vanilla and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Optional: Replace the whisk with the paddle attachment and beat for a few seconds to get rid of air bubbles.
