Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 to 8 cups confectionersā sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. You may not need to add all of the sugar.
