Super Smooth American Buttercream

Recipe

I recommend using a double batch as it’s easier to fluff the butter, when there is more in the mixing bowl.

Single Batch

250g Real Butter (Salted or Unsalted this is your choice)

500g Icing Sugar (Sifted)

2 Tbsp Double/Heavy Cream

1-2 Tsp Vanilla Extract depending on the strength off the one you use. I recommend Saracino Vanilla, a little goes a long way and the taste is amazing.

Whip the butter on high until light and fluffy, around 10 mins.

Add your icing sugar in 3 stages and mix on LOW each time until fully incorporated.

On the final amount of icing sugar add in your cream and icing sugar, then back on low for around 3 mins.

Now remove a few tablespoons of the buttercream and heat for 10 seconds in the microwave and then add this back to the remaining mix and whip on LOW again for around 3 mins (Do this this twice, don’t do a larger batch, the buttercream will split, add one amount whip and then repeat)

Place into the fridge to “settle” and then whip again on LOW for around 3 mins and then it is all ready….. super smooth, no air, beautiful to pipe with and will smooth on a cake beautifully

To whiten the buttercream you can use either use
