Classic Homemade Vanilla Frosting Recipe

Classic Homemade Vanilla Frosting Recipe

Classic Homemade Vanilla Frosting RecipeThis vanilla frosting recipe is really easy-to-make. You only need a handful of ingredients to make it. You can use it to frost cakes, cupcakes, brownies or sweet breads. When making the recipe I do have a few suggestions that I would like to make.

1. I like to use a Vanilla Extract Powder that I get from Selefina. The Vanilla Extract Powder is used the same way as liquid vanilla extract at a 1:1 ratio. I find that it makes all of my recipes taste better and it’s so easy to use!!! You can purchase it directly from Selefina. I highly recommend it.

2. ONLY use butter. I personally don’t like using margarine in this type of reciping. I feel the frosting sets-up better when I use butter. Plus, I prefer the taste of butter over margarine.

3. Use an electric hand mixer which helps you to get the proper consistency. Hand-mixing doesn’t really work well for this type of recipe.

Classic Homemade Vanilla Frosting Recipe

2 c. Confectioners’ powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
3/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. milk

In a large mixing bowl beat together the Confectioners’ powdered sugar and the softened butter. Beat in the pure vanilla extract and the milk. I find it best to use an electric mixer set on the medium speed. Beat together until you reach the desired consistency. If should be soft and creamy, but spreadable.

If it seems to be too soft…add-in a little bit more confectioners’ sugar. If it seems to be too thick, add in a 1/2 Tbsp. of milk. Keep adjusting the confectioners’ sugar and milk until you get the right consistency.

Spread onto a cooled cake, cupcake, brownies, doughnuts, cookies, sweet breads, etc.
