This recipe makes enough to
(generously!) frost top and sides of one two-layer 8-inch round cake.
Ingredients:
6 Tbsp butter
4 cups powdered
sugar
¼ cup (whipping) cream
(+ 1 to 2 Tbsp, if necessary)
(food coloring)
Directions:
In
a mixing bowl beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add about half of
the powdered sugar, beating well. Beat in ¼ cup cream (and food coloring).
Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar. (Add 1 to 2 Tbsp cream, if necessary, to
make frosting of spreading consistency).
Keep
the frosted cake refrigerated, if necessary, until ready to serve.
