SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Simple and Delicious Buttercream Frosting image

I decided on a whim yesterday that I wanted to make cupcakes for Canada Day. I didn't have time to buy frosting before getting ready for the fireworks show, so I ended up making my own with ingredients I already had. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was! This basic vanilla recipe makes enough to cover a dozen cupcakes, but feel free to double it (for cakes), triple it, add food coloring or different flavor extracts. If you find this too sweet, you can add a dash of salt to the milk or the vanilla. Personally I like it sweet, and I used salted butter, so I didn't find it necessary.

Tips for Making the Best Almost-Homemade Buttercream Frosting/Filling

- For a smooth and creamy buttercream, make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. - If you want a thicker frosting, chill it for a few minutes before using. - To achieve a fluffy frosting, whip it on high speed for several minutes until it is light and airy. - If you are using the frosting as a filling, be sure to let it cool completely before spreading it between the layers of cake. - For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. - Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor. - If you want a chocolate frosting, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the creamed butter and sugar. - For a coffee-flavored frosting, add 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee to the creamed butter and sugar. - For a fruity frosting, add 1/2 cup of your favorite fruit preserves or jam to the creamed butter and sugar.
