Silky Vanilla Butter Frosting ๐ฐ
Overview:
This Silky Vanilla Butter Frosting is a delightful departure from the typical powdered sugar-laden buttercream. Instead, it boasts a velvety texture achieved by beating butter into a flour-thickened base, resulting in a luxuriously light and creamy frosting. Not overly sweet, but just sweet enough to perfectly complement any cake. Remember, it’s crucial to ensure the base is completely cooled before incorporating the butter. Although we’ve allotted 15 minutes for cooling time, this may vary depending on ambient conditions.
