Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

It is a Keeper
It is a Keeper

I make my Vanilla Buttercream Frosting with just 4 simple ingredients. It has an incredibly delicious vanilla flavor. It’s truly the best buttercream recipe and is perfect for making layer cakes and cupcakes. I love this American buttercream recipe because it’s perfect as a crumb coat and frosting for birthday cakes. Not to mention it’s incredibly easy. It’s so good, it rivals my favorite cream cheese frosting.
