Homemade frosting makes all the difference in a cake. I rarely use canned frosting now that I've made this.
Vanilla Buttercream
2 sticks butter, softened
1 pound powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
4-6 Tbs cream<br>
1 tsp vanilla
Beat sugar into butter one cup at a time. Add 4 tablespoons cream and the vanilla. If too stiff. Add more cream one tablespoon at a time until spreadable.
Chocolate Buttercream
For chocolate buttercream, substitute 1/2 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup cocoa powder and omit the vanilla.
