Simple and Oh So Heavenly Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting

I LOVE BUTTER CREAM FROSTING!!! There I said it...are you happy!?!? There is simply nothing like homemade butter cream. You can tint this lovely frosting with gel or paste food colors or use it as is.

3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 stick salted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tbsp whipping cream


In stand mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes.

Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium high speed for 3-5 minutes more until frosting is thick and creamy.
