added by stewart23
serves/makes: 4.5 cups
ready in: under 30 minutes
ingredients
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk*
food coloring, optional
directions
In large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and milk until smooth.
If necessary, add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency.
Add a few drops of food coloring if you wish.
Stir to blend.
Basic recipe makes enough to fill and frost a 2-layer cake or a 13"x9" sheet cake or 2 dozen cupcakes.
*Maraschino cherry juice can be used instead if you like the taste.
Start with a tablespoon of cherry juice before adding more to see if you like the flavor.
If you want it stronger, use more juice and forget the milk.
If you don't want a strong cherry flavor, use part milk with the juice.
Chocolate buttercream frosting:
Melt 2 squares (1 oz ea) unsweetened chocolate over low heat in double boiler until just melted.
Stir into above buttercream frosting mixture.
