The BEST Buttercream Frosting

Have you ever had those days when you make a delicious cake but don't have a quick icing recipe? Well, this is for those days. This recipe takes about 5 minutes in total.... and to be honest, the hardest part is controlling yourself and not licking the spoon as you're making it (which I've obviously never done...) So, let's get on with this recipe!

EASIEST Buttercream Frosting (white)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups icing sugar, sifted

2 tbsp milk

3 drops food coloring, any color (optional)

Steps:

1. Cream the unsalted butter with an electric or handheld mixer. GRADUALLY beat in sugar until fully incorporated. Beat in vanilla.

And that's literally it! Enjoy!
