Ultimate Butter Cream Frosting

This frosting will make your cake taste fabulous! I am not much of a frosting eater on my cakes, but this is one recipe where I scrape my plate clean. Be sure to use real butter and real cream.

Ingredients

• 7 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar (2 lbs)

• 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup heavy cream

1. Cream powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt.  While mixer is running, slowly add a portion of the cream to the mixture.  Continue adding the cream to make the frosting of a good spreading consistency.  You may need a little less or a little more of the cream called out in the recipe to achieve your desired consistency.
