I LOVE butter cream frosting! I posted this recipe...back when I posted the recipe for the BEST sugar cookies ever. I decided that I would post it again....because it deserves it's own post.
This frosting is SO good on sugar cookies and GREAT with cinnamon roles!
One of my boys turned 6 a couple of weeks ago and asked for blue frosting for his chocolate cupcakes...so I tried the butter cream frosting and what do you know...it was also great with chocolate cupcakes.
I know that it looks like their is more frosting than cupcake...and maybe there is....
Butter Cream Frosting
Ingredients:
1 lb. Powdered Sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 cube(1/4 cup) butter (softened)
1/4 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 t. vanilla
Directions: With mixer, whip butter until soft and creamy. Add powdered sugar and salt. Add powdered sugar and mix. Add milk a little at a time to desired consistency. If necessary, add a little more milk to thin or powdered sugar to thicken. Add vanilla and food coloring(if desired). Mix well. Spread on cake, cookies, or cinnamon rolls.
I love buttercream with chocolate cake and yes, it's ok if there is more frosting than cake. Interesting that you use evaporated milk here...I might have to try that next time!
