Vanilla Frosting
This is a classic American buttercream. Sweet, fluffy, and ready to swirl.
Ingredients: For Vanilla Frosting
113 grams unsalted butter, softened
190 grams to 250 grams or 1½ to 2 cups Icing sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Beat the softened butter until creamy.
Add Icing sugar a little at a time, beating slowly at first to avoid a sugar storm.
Add vanilla extract, salt, then milk one spoon at a time until you get your perfect texture—smooth and spreadable or thick for piping.
Want to colour it? Add a drop of food colouring and mix!
Frost with a piping bag or spread with a knife—whatever feels fun.
