Classic American Buttercream
Easy, delicious and the perfect topper to any cake/ cupcake or any dessert that you want to add some buttercream to. It’s a very stable buttercream that will be easy to pipe on your cakes/ decorate.
FYI this will be a white buttercream but feel free to add food coloring for your color of choice.
**mixer / hand mixer is recommended for this recipe**

Prep Time:15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
- 1 cup room temperature butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or paste
- 3 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, add your butter and using the whisk attachment, whisk for about 5 minutes. Your butter should go from light yellow to white.
Now that your butter is light and fluffy, start adding your salt, vanilla and slowly add your powdered sugar and mix until fluffy and all is combined.
Your buttercream should already be formed, but I like to add a little heavy cream to make the buttercream a bit more smooth and silky.
Mix your buttercream for about 5 minutes now that all of your ingredients are combined.
That's it, you have buttercream! Feel free to add food coloring to make it any color you like and have fun decorating :)
