Creamy Cake Frosting
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until it’s smooth and fluffy. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this step.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the creamed butter, mixing on low speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Next, add the vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to mix on low speed. The vanilla will enhance the flavor of the frosting and give it a delightful aroma.
4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while mixing on low speed. The cream will help achieve a smooth and creamy consistency for your frosting. Keep mixing until the frosting reaches your desired thickness. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more cream, a teaspoon at a time.
5. Once the frosting is smooth and fluffy, it’s ready to be applied to your cake of choice. You can use a spatula or a piping bag to frost your cake, depending on the design you’re aiming for.
6. Spread the Creamy Cake Frosting evenly over the cooled cake layers, creating beautiful swirls or peaks for a decorative finish. You can also add sprinkles, edible flowers, or chocolate shavings on top to make your creation even more delightful.
7. Allow the frosted cake to set for a bit before serving, giving the frosting a chance to firm up slightly. This will ensure that the frosting holds its shape when you slice into the cake.
Voila! Your Creamy Cake Frosting is now ready to impress your guests and elevate your baking game. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, this frosting will be the perfect finishing touch to any cake. Enjoy the creamy goodness and savor every bite of your homemade masterpiece. Happy baking!
