You Will Need (4 things)
- 6 cup Icing Sugar (sifted)
- 2 cup Butter (room temperature)
- 4 tbsp Whipping Cream
- 2 tsp Vanilla (or flavouring of your choice)
Steps (8 steps, 15 minutes)
-
1
Prepare a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
-
2
Whisk butter until creamy.
-
3
Reduce speed to low and add in icing sugar 1 cup at a time until well blended.
-
4
Increase speed to med and beat for 3 minutes.
-
5
Add vanilla and 2tbsp cream and continue to beat on medium for 1 minute.
-
6
Add more cream as needed until desired consistency is reached (I added all 4).
-
7
I whipped this for a few minutes longer as I was determined to get rid of the graininess.
-
8
Frost on a cool cake and chill.
*This made enough to frost the rosette cake pictured but would likely be too much if you're just looking to do a regular frosting on a 2 layer cake. If so, I would suggest cutting this recipe in half.
