Time 15m

Yield 2 layer 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 -8 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in 4 cups sugar, then the milk and vanilla.
  • On medium speed of an electric mixer, beat about 3-5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well (about 2 minutes) after each addition, until the icing is thick enough for good spreading consistency (you may not need all of the sugar).
  • If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly.
  • Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled.
  • The icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • **If making a 3-layer cake, use the following proportions: 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, 8-10 cups confectioner's sugar, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
