This is a classic vanilla butter cream frosting that melt in your mouth. This frosting are perfect for icing your birthday cakes,cupcakes or stuffing your humble cream filled buns. If you noticed, i didn't use shortening in my recipe simply because, i don't like the greasy texture of the shortening in my butter cream. For the perfect butter cream use a good quality butter as the quality of your butter determine the end product of the frosting.
With simple ingredients and methods you can skip the store brought butter cream. This recipe can generously frost a 2-tier 9'inch birthday cake. Creamy,smooth and full of vanilla flavour is my favourite frosting to dress up my baking goods from ordinary to extra-ordinary.
Ingredients
4-5 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup salted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tbsp whole milk/heavy cream
Methods
Using a hand/stand mixer, over a medium speed whip the butter. Reduce speed to low and add 3 cups of confectioners sugar and beat well to combined.
Switch speed to medium and add vanilla extract and 2 tbsp of milk/heavy cream and beat for good 3 minutes.
If the frosting consistency too thin, add the remaining sugar and if too stiff, add 1 tbsp of milk/cream at a time till a desired consistency achieved.
Notes
- Sift confectioners sugar for a smooth frosting
- Use a good quality of butter no margerine or planta strictly BUTTER
