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
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
- Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, culinary lavender, and salt.
- Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- 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.
