Ingredients
- 3 c powdered sugar
- ⅓ c butter softened
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp milk 1-2
Instructions
- In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed.
- Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.
- Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable.
- If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar.
- Frosts 13x9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.
Notes
Allow your butter to soften at room temperature so it easily beats up smoothly with the powdered (sometimes called confectioner’s) sugar.
