Adaptable Buttercream Frosting
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 4.5 cups    |   Ready In: < 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk*
food coloring, optional

Directions:
In large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and milk until smooth. If necessary, add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. Add a few drops of food coloring if you wish. Stir to blend.

Basic recipe makes enough to fill and frost a 2-layer cake or a 13x9-inch sheet cake or 2 dozen cupcakes.

*Maraschino cherry juice can be used instead if you like the taste. Start with a tablespoon of cherry juice before adding more to see if you like the flavor. If you want it stronger, use more juice and forget the milk. If you don't want a strong cherry flavor, use part milk with the juice.

Chocolate buttercream frosting: Melt 2 squares (1 oz ea) unsweetened chocolate over low heat in double boiler until just melted. Stir into above buttercream frosting mixture.
