Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Frosting
- 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113g) butter, softened
- 1 tsp McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 16 oz confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 2 tbsp (2% or whole) milk
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Beat butter: Beat butter in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until the butter is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract: Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate flavor.
- Add dry and wet ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the sifted confectioners’ sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt, frequently scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Whip frosting: Once the ingredients are incorporated, whip the frosting on medium-high to high speed for at least 3 minutes, continuing up to 7 minutes for a lighter texture.
- Adjust consistency: If the frosting is too thick to spread, gradually beat in additional milk to reach the desired spreading consistency.
- Storage: Store the frosting in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip before using to restore fluffiness.
Notes
- Use the White Cake recipe from iambaker.net for a from-scratch perfectly complementary cake.
- The frosting can be adjusted to your preferred consistency by adding more milk if too thick.
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for best mixing results.
- Rewhip refrigerated frosting before use to regain its light texture.
