Vanilla Cream Filling
Fill cupcakes with it, layer it in between cakes, or just eat it with a spoon. This filling is fluffy, delicious, and goes with anything.
Equipment
- stand mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter (room temperature)
- ¼ cup shortening
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Make sure the butter is at room temperature so it doesn't get lumpy.
- Combine the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, shortening, powdered sugar, milk (or cream), vanilla, and salt.
- Initial mixing. Start blending at low speed until the ingredients are just combined.
- Beat the mixture. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture is very fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
- Check the consistency. If the filling is too thick, just add a little more milk or cream, one spoonful at a time, until it's the thickness you want.
- Use or store. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate.
