EASY WHITE ICING



Easy White Icing image

This easy white icing recipe yields a foolproof frosting for cakes and cupcakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups, enough for 12 standard cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 pound (3 2/3 cups) confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk (optional)

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth.
  • Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. If too thick to spread, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for the frosting, as salted butter can make the frosting too salty.
  • If you don't have a mixer, you can make the frosting by hand. Just cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add the rum, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, add more milk.
  • You can use any type of rum in this frosting, but a light or white rum is best. If you use a dark rum, the frosting will have a darker color and a more pronounced rum flavor.
  • This frosting is best used immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before stirring it until smooth.

Conclusion:

This quick rum frosting is the perfect way to add a touch of flavor and sophistication to your favorite cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a frosting that will impress your friends and family, give this rum frosting a try.
