Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp milk

In mixing bowl, add powdered sugar and butter, mix on low speed. Mix in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.

Gradually add in the remaining milk, the frosting should appear more smooth.

If the frosting is too thick, add in more milk a few drops at a time.

If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar.

This makes enough to frosts a 13×9-inch cake or a 9-inch two-layer cake.

This cake was made for Christmas Day covered in coconut flakes;  for Christmas Eve we replaced the vanilla in this recipe with peppermint extract for a minty frosting.
