Basic Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Basic Buttercream Frosting

From decadent 14 years ago

This should be enough to generously spread over cake with extra for decorating. Adjust sugar and milk levels as needed.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and shortening. Beat in sugar, vanilla, salt, and milk gradually, until you achieve the right consistency. Spread over completely cooled cake.
