This lick-your-fingers frosting is your basic American buttercream with a twist. It’s like the best part of a cinnamon roll condensed into frosting form. Spread it on Pumpkin Bread or Apple Cake. Try it on top of Fudgy Chocolate Brownies or sandwiched between Oatmeal Raisin Date Cookies.
- 1/2 cup (1 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- generous pinch of kosher salt
Cream the butter with beater or in a standing mixer with a paddle attachment.
Add 2 cups confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, vanilla, cinnamon and a generous pinch of kosher salt.
Mix until thoroughly combined. Add the remaining cup of confectioner’s sugar. Mix it all together until it lightens a little and is spreading consistency. You can add a little more milk if you need to.
