Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (i've used milk here)
  • 1 teasp flavoring extract
  • pinch salt (omit if not using un ed butter)
  • 11/4 cups butter, softened
  • 21/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Stir the cream, flavoring extract, and salt together. in small bowl until the salt dissolves.
  2. Beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, 30 to 60 seconds (I use my stand mixer with whisk attachment). Reduce the speed to medium-low, slowly add the powdered sugar, and beat until smooth, 2 to 5 minutes. Beat in the cream mixture.
  3. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the mixture until the mixture is light and fluffy, 4 to 8 minutes.
  4. Note: I used almond flavoring, but the recipe calls for vanilla extract. I added more than one teaspoon, until I liked the flavor. It was so good, I could eat this with a spoon.
  5. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Before using let come to room temp to soften and whisk briefly to re-fluff.
  6. This makes enough frosting for a two layer 8 - or 9 -cake or by a 9x13 cake.
  7. Variations:
  8. Dark Chocolate
  9. Substitute 8 oz melted semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate for the heavy cream and reduce the sugar to 2 cups. Beat 2 tbsp cocoa powder into the butter and sugar mixture.
  10. Coffee Frosting
  11. Add 1 tbsp instant espresso powder (or 4 tsp instant coffee) to the cream mixture.
  12. Peppermint Frosting
  13. Use 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and add 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract to the cream mixture.
  14. Orange Frosting
  15. Add 4 tsp fresh orange juice and 1 1/2 tsp grated orange zest to the cream mixture.
  16. Peanut Butter Frosting
  17. Do not use old fashioned or natural peanut butter in this recipe.
  18. Reduce the butter to 1 cup and the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Beat 1 cup cream peanut butter into the butter and sugar mixture.
