Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 5 cups powdered sugar (600g)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract

  • pinch of salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Place butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add sugar, one cup at a time, and beat until combined — it will be thick. Beat in vanilla extract.

  4. Add a pinch of salt (to your tastes) and beat until combined.
  5. Spread or pipe onto cake or cupcakes, or see post above for storing for longer periods of time.
