Yield Makes enough for one 8-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
2 1/2 pounds unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar with 1 cup water; cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until it registers 236 degrees (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization.
  • Blend eggs in a blender jar. With machine running, very slowly add hot sugar syrup until combined, being careful to not scramble the eggs. Let cool to room temperature.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add syrup mixture until incorporated. Add vanilla, and beat until desired consistency.

This frosting is amazing! It's so smooth and creamy, and it has the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

I didn't have any problems with the recipe, but I found that the frosting was a bit too thick for my liking. I added a little bit of milk and it thinned it out perfectly.

This frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This is the best vanilla buttercream frosting I've ever had! It's so light and fluffy, and the vanilla flavor is just right. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the frosting turned out perfectly. It was the perfect consistency for piping and it held its shape well on the cupcakes.
