Description
This Brown Butter Cake Frosting is a delicious and luxurious upgrade from traditional buttercream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 to 3½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cut the unsalted butter into even pieces to ensure uniform melting. Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat once it turns golden brown.

- Whip the cooled browned butter at medium speed for 2-3 minutes until creamy and light in color.
- Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until spreadable.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add heavy cream or milk and continue mixing until light and fluffy.
- Give the frosting a final whip until it reaches the perfect texture.
