This recipe is very aptly named because it’s made with both butter and cream, lots of butter, and a little cream.
It’s my favorite , except for chocolate. … Let me be more specific; this is my favorite white frosting recipe. I use it on everything from sugar cookies to cinnamon rolls. It’s rich, creamy, and delicious.
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Beat all ingredients until light, smooth, and fluffy. Spread on cake
- This makes enough for a 3 (9 inch) layer cake. If you're making just 2 layers, or a 13 x 9 inch cake, you'll have extra.
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
4 cups powdered sugar
¾ cup butter, softened
½ cup cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
Beat until very light and fluffy. If it’s too dry, add a few drops of cream. If it’s too sticky, add a little powdered sugar to adjust.
Smooth 1 cup frosting on the first layer, …
… another cup on the second layer, and …
… the remaining frosting on the sides then top.
Decorate, or keep it simple. Either way, it’s delicious.
