Have you ever wanted a simple, basic frosting that you can use over and over again? Maybe change it up a little every once in a while without having to get a whole new recipe? Wouldn't it be nice to have one recipe that tastes delicious, is easy, and doesn't take a lot of work to make? Well, we have what you are looking for. We love this recipe so much because it's simple and it tastes delicious!
This frosting is very versatile. Once you're done making it you can toss in an ingredient of your choice to it to jazz it up and turn it into something special. You can add anything from fruit purees or jellies to melted caramel or even chocolate. Bam! A whole new frosting to use!
Enjoy!
This recipe will generously frost about 12 cupcakes, maybe a few more, or a small 6-inch cake.
Ingredients
Directions
Pull out your best mixer and toss in the 2 cups of unsalted butter. Beat on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy in texture- this will take about 30 seconds or so.
Stop your mixer (or you will have a powdered face) and add all 4 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix the butter and powdered sugar on low speed until mixed well.
Add the vanilla extract as well as the vanilla bean paste and turn up the mixer to medium speed and mix for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl so you do not have any unmixed ingredients.
Fill up a pastry bag, with the tip of your choice, about halfway with the frosting. Twist the pastry bag to close it and begin frosting your cupcakes or use an offset spatula to frost your cake.
We hope you enjoy! Let us know how it turns out.

Ingredients
- 2 cups of unsalted butter, make sure it is at room temperature so it mixes well
- 4 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste (this adds amazing flavor and gives the frosting just a little bit of those natural vanilla bean flecks)
