A delightful and fluffy strawberry buttercream frosting perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and more.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and blended
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Heavy cream or milk, as needed for consistency

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then blend or mash until smooth. Strain to remove seeds.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and pale in color (about 2 minutes).
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar on low speed until combined; then add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract.
  4. If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of heavy cream or milk until a fluffy consistency is achieved.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness, adding more sugar if desired.
  6. Spread or pipe the frosting onto cooled cakes or cupcakes.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for a lighter texture. Mix powdered sugar gradually to avoid a mess.
