Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

If you are making frosting for a cake, it is important to mix the buttercream at the lowest speed at the end of the process for a couple of minutes, to get out any extra air that might have to be incorporated during the mixing process.

You can also stir the frosting in a bowl with a rubber spatula, pushing it from side to side, to get rid of any air bubbles. This will make it easier to get super smooth sides on your cake!

I usually make 1 1/2 batches of frosting to stack and frost a seven or eight-inch cake.
