Instructions
 

  • Beat the butter (either by hand, using an electric mixer or stand mixer) until pale, light and fluffy. This could take several minutes.
  • Sieve half of the powdered sugar into the butter and beat until combined, then repeat this with the remaining half of the powdered sugar.
  • Add in the Bailey’s, vanilla extract and salt (if using), mixing until only just smooth. Use to frost your cupcakes, cakes, brownies, etc. and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe makes enough frosting for roughly 10-12 cupcakes.
  • Double the recipe to fully frost a 3-layer 6-inch cake (between layers and coating).
  • Triple the recipe to fully frost a 3-layer 8-inch cake (between layers and coating).
  • This is a gluten-free recipe. Check your ingredient labels for cross-contamination just in case though.
