Butter Cream Frosting

Butter cream frosting is easy to make and delicious. Try my easy wedding cake icing recipe made with Confectioners sugar, butter and vanilla

I use it if crunched for time and It's almost as good as my Italian Meringue wedding cake frosting recipe.

The flavorings can be changed and chocolate melted, nuts added etc. to make all kinds of interesting fillings and flavor choices.

"Thanks for your help, again! I tried your simple butter + vanilla + icing sugar butter cream frosting recipe. I found that you don't need to add too much icing sugar to achieve a nice consistency. It held its shape very nicely"

Basic Recipe

Unsalted butter softened

Confectioners sugar

Vanilla or almond or lemon extract.

I do it all to taste.Whip up the butter until it is as white and fluffy as possible. Add the sugar and vanilla continue mixing at a medium speed.

Pretty much every box or bag of confectioners sugar has an icing or frosting recipe on the back, but I find they are way too sweet. My suggestion is to take a look at one and adjust the sugar to your taste.

Here is one from the Dominoes 2 lb. bag or go to the Dominos website

This one calls for 2 ozs. unsweetened melted and cooled chocolate. You can eliminate that if you are looking for a vanilla frosting.

• 1/2 cup of butter, or margarine. (I personally would never use margarine)
• 3 3/4 cups confectioners sugar
• 3-4 Tlbs milk (I don't usually use milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Make enough to fill and frost a 2 layer cake or a 13 x 9 x 2 sheet cake or 24 cupcakes.
