  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons culinary lavender, finely chopped
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
  3. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, culinary lavender, and salt.
  4. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Keep the butter at cool room temperature; add powdered sugar in stages to avoid a dusty cloud. If the frosting is too stiff, add cream gradually. For piping details, chill the frosting slightly before use.
