Peanut Butter Frosting

Servings: 12 generously frosted cupcakes or 24 modestly frosted cupcakes

Ingredients

• 
  

1 cup butter softened to room temperature (226g)

1 cup creamy OR crunchy (My fave!) peanut butter (245g)

3 cups powdered sugar (375g)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

2 Tablespoons milk OR for extra creaminess use heavy cream!

Instructions

• Combine butter and peanut butter in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined.  
• Gradually (about 1/3 cup at a time), with mixer on low speed add powdered sugar until completely combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so all ingredients are well-combined. 
• Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
• With mixer on low-speed, add milk and stir until well-combined. Gradually increase speed to high and beat for 30 seconds.  
• Spread or pipe frosting onto completely cooled cupcakes or cake.

Notes

This cake will frost a 9x13 sheet cake, a 2-layer round 8" or 9" cake, 24 cupcakes, or will generously frost 12 cupcakes
