Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

I have a confession to make: when it comes to buttercream frostings, I improvise. I don't have set recipe, but my vanilla buttercream consists of 4 components:

Softened Butter (of course)
Vanilla
Powdered sugar
Whipping Cream (makes the frosting fluffy)
Milk

It's a pretty basic recipe but it tastes fabulous.
For the purpose of this blog, here's a recipe (with measurements) for vanilla buttercream frosting:

1/2 cup of softened butter
1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla
4 cups of powdered sugar
1/3 cup of whipping cream
Milk (to add if the frosting is too thick)

Directions:
Cream the butter and vanilla together then add the powdered sugar and whipping cream. Whip the frosting until it's fluffy. As I said in the list of ingredients, if the frosting is too thick then add some milk. Be careful though, because a little bit goes a long way :)

Sidenotes: This frosting works best when used right away. Also, after icing cupcakes or a cake, refrigerate it. That helps to keep the frosting in the right shape.

Enjoy this tasty recipe!
