Vanilla Butter Frosting

MAKES
2 cups

We fashioned this Vanilla Butter Frosting recipe after a frosting we found topping cupcakes at a school bake sale. The rich buttery taste says this is certainly homemade and ready for topping almost anything. 

What You'll Need

  • 3 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Do

  1. In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium-low speed, beat all the ingredients for 3 to 4 minutes, or until creamy. Use immediately, or cover and chill until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before using.
     

Notes

This homemade frosting recipe is perfect for frosting our Old-Fashioned Pound Cake, or most plain cakes baked in a 9" x 13" pan. You'll see how easily this frosting takes a cake from ordinary to extraordinary!
