The success of this frosting is in the technique, not the ingredients. It’s so creamy and not too sweet.
Original recipe makes 2 layer cake
Ingredients
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions
- In a large bowl, Whip the butter on high speed, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Whip until double in volume. This takes a very long time, approximately 10 minutes.
