In general, I don’t really like buttercream frosting, but I was a big fan of this one, which we modified slightly below (our version has a little more vanilla).
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 C (3 sticks) Unsalted butter, cold.
5 C Powdered sugar
3 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tbsp Heavy whipping cream
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut butter into pieces. Using the paddle attachment, whip butter for 5-7 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Beat until butter look light in color.
Add 2 C powdered sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated into butter.
Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Add additional 2 C powdered sugar and beat on low speed until sugar is incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes.
Add last 1 C powdered sugar along with 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract . Beat on low until ingredients start to mix together. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for another 3-5 minutes to whip additional air into the frosting.
