Servings: 8 people

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand held cake mixer

Ingredients

  • 125 g Butter Unsalted, Room temperature
  • 250 g Icing Sugar Sifted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
  • 1 Tablespoon Cream Thicken, Whipping cream

Instructions

  • Add the room temperature butter to a bowl of a stand mixer or a handheld mixer with the whisk attachment. Mix on a high speed for about 30 minutes until the butter is fluffy and pale in colour. If you live in a hot and humid country, this might be quicker.
    This should resemble a whipped butter texture and white in colour.
  • Sift the icing sugar, directly onto the butter. Mix it well for 5 minutes at high speed until it is thick and creamy
  • Add in the vanilla essence and the milk, colouring if using any and beat it on a medium speed for another 5 minutes.
    This will ensure you will get a fluffy and creamy buttercream.
  • Use the buttercream to decorate your cakes/cupcakes
