Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

By

Ingredients

  • • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • • 1/3 cup butter or margarine (softened)
  • • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.

Step 2

Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar.

Step 3

Frosts 13x9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.
