Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature (use real butter, not margarine)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons milk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all frosting ingredients—butter, peanut butter, milk, and confectioners’ sugar—are at room temperature for a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Mix Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium to large bowl, beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter together using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Confectioners’ Sugar: Gradually add 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar to the mixture, beating continuously until the sugar is fully blended in and the frosting begins to thicken.
- Add Flavor and Milk: Add the vanilla extract if using, then add the milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue beating for about 3 minutes until the frosting turns lighter in color, fluffy, and spreadable.
- Adjust Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk and continue beating until the desired spreadable consistency is achieved.
- Frost the Cake: Use the prepared frosting to generously cover your cake, spreading it evenly. Serve and enjoy your creamy, peanut butter-infused chocolate frosting delight!
Notes
- Be sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
- If the frosting gets too thin, add a little more confectioners’ sugar to thicken it up.
- This frosting pairs wonderfully with chocolate or vanilla cakes.
- Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using again.
