How to Make Ultimate Butter Cream Frosting
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream, until the desired consistency is reached. Start with less and add more as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a little more powdered sugar if desired, or a touch more cream for a softer frosting.
- Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the frosting to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help it firm up and make it easier to spread.
