OMT’s Salted Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (adapted and estimated)
1 cup unsalted butter (softened) 5-6 cups sifted confectioners sugar (depending on if you desire a thinner or thicker frosting) 2 tablespoons vanilla 1 teaspoon salt 3-5 tablespoons heavy cream (depending on if you desire a thinner or thicker frosting)
Beat butter with a mixer until it reaches a creamy consistency. Add vanilla and salt and mix well. Add sugar, on low speed, in 1 cup increments, while alternately adding 1 tablespoon of cream, at a time, as necessary. Mix until fluffy.
The cake itself was a disappointment; the salted vanilla frosting, not so much.
