BASIC VANILLA BUTTERCREAM

Ask any pastry chef about frostings and they'll tell you that there's nothing like a good basic vanilla buttercream. This American-style vanilla buttercream from chef Billy Reece of Billy's Bakery in NYC requires just four ingredients and comes together in just about as many minutes. Smooth, fluffy, and creamy, it's ideal for all kinds of cakes, from cupcakes to multi-layered confections.

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in 4 cups sugar, then the milk and vanilla.
  • On medium speed of an electric mixer, beat about 3-5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well (about 2 minutes) after each addition, until the icing is thick enough for good spreading consistency (you may not need all of the sugar).
  • If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly.
  • Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled.
  • The icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • **If making a 3-layer cake, use the following proportions: 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, 8-10 cups confectioner's sugar, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
