Notes
What is the recipe for this frosting? This yields enough frosting for 24 cupcakes or a 6-inch cake made in two layers.
Preservation and freezing: How to store this frosting: If serving within 24 hours, this frosting keeps well at room temperature because it’s not overly warm. It keeps well in the refrigerator for seven days if prepared in advance. Before piping, the frosting needs to return to room temperature, and I recommend giving it another whip.
This frosting should be frozen: In an airtight bag, this frosting can also be frozen; just make sure to remove all excess air from the bag before freezing. When piping, I advise thawing to room temperature and whipping again first.
Should the frosting be too thin, beat in another 1/2 cup powdered sugar at a time until the required consistency is achieved.
Cake frosting (9 x 13 inches or 12 cupcakes)
one-third cup (170g) 2-3 cups of unsalted butter (260g–390g) sugar powder
One teaspoon, or five milliliters extract from vanilla
15ml of heavy whipping cream (or milk) equals one tablespoon.
A pinch of salt, if desired
