Vanilla Buttercream
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Ingredients
- 690 grams Icing Sugar
- 500 grams butter I use a good quality butter because you really taste the flavour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 mls pure cream
Instructions
- Beat butter using stand mixer until creamy.
- Add one cup of icing sugar at a time. Turn machine off between additions or you will end up with icing sugar everywhere. Once all sugar is added mix on high for three minutes.
- Add vanilla and then add the cream 20 mls at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
- Whip until really smooth and creamy.
Notes
For this cake recipe I split the icing in two. Kept one half vanilla and then added 1/4 cup cocoa and an extra tablespoon of cream and gave it a good mix with the mixer.
