Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 Cup Solid Vegetable Shortening ((can be substituted for an additional 1/2 cup unsalted butter))
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter ((1 stick softened))
4 Cups Sifted Powdered Sugar ((confectioners' sugar))
2 Tablespoons Milk, Heavy Cream or Water
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract ((Pure or Imitation))
Pinch of Salt ((Optional))

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening on a medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and scrape down the bowl occasionally.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Start by mixing each cup on a low speed then transition to beating well on medium speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each cup of sugar is added. When all the sugar has been mixed in, the frosting will appear dry and stiff.
  • Gradually add small amounts of cream or milk or water at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Continue to beat at a medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl once more and beat again to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • (Optional) Add a pinch of salt if too sweet and mix until completely dissolved.

REGULAR WHITE ICING (ADD BUTTER TO MAKE BUTTERCREAM ICING)



Regular White Icing (Add Butter to Make Buttercream Icing) image

I love this icing with the White Cake recipe that I posted. This is not a thick icing like those you buy. This also came from my sister-in-law. We use this for lots of different baked goods that require icing.

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Yield 1 cake or twelve cupcakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon milk, add more to desired consistancy
1 dash salt (may substitute or omit)
1/4 cup butter (for the Buttercream Icing you would add the butter to the recipe)

Steps:

  • Mix powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Add milk teaspoon by teaspoon until desired consistency.
  • Dash salt.
  • Note: Do NOT pour in the milk.
  • Trust me.
  • Do this as instructed, or you will have to keep adding sugar until you get a good consistency, and then you will end up with enough icing to cover surplus amout of cakes!
  • (If you are icing everything in your home, then go right ahead).
