Let’s get to it!
HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
- Grab a large mixing bowl and let’s start by creaming the unsalted butter and vegetable shortening together. We want them to become best friends, so use a hand-mixer on medium speed and whip them until they become smooth, light, and oh-so-fluffy. This is where the magic begins.
- Once the butter and shortening are perfectly creamed, it’s time to introduce some vanilla goodness. Add in the vanilla extract and give it a good mix. We want that beautiful vanilla flavor to permeate every bite.
- Now comes the sugary goodness! Slowly add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while continuing to mix. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is fully incorporated. We’re aiming for a smooth and velvety texture that will make your taste buds dance.
- Keep adding the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until you’ve incorporated all of it. This is where the sweetness takes center stage, so don’t hold back!
- To achieve the perfect consistency, slowly add the whole milk, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing. Keep an eye on the texture and stop when you reach the desired consistency. We want a frosting that’s spreadable, smooth, and luscious.
There you have it, my friends—our irresistible Vanilla Buttercream, ready to elevate your cakes, cupcakes, or any sweet creation to a whole new level. It’s time to unleash your frosting prowess and bring a touch of creamy delight to your desserts.
So go ahead, spread it, pipe it, or simply lick it off the spoon. The choice is yours, and the satisfaction is guaranteed!
