This fluffy, soft vanilla buttercream is delicious, foolproof, and EASY! You won't make another buttercream recipe again!
Ingredients
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract (can substitute vanilla bean paste for a stronger vanilla flavor)
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 4-5 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, vanilla, and heavy cream until combined.
  2. Gradually begin adding the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, until frosting is light and fluffy but is still stiff enough to pipe onto cupcakes. You may add more powdered sugar if the frosting is too thin, or more heavy cream (about a teaspoon at a time) if the frosting is too thick and pasty.
  3. Pipe the frosting high onto cooled cupcakes, or frost onto a cake.
