Ingredients
Directions
Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and shortening.
Gradually mix in about half of the powdered sugar.
Mix in the vanilla.
Alternate mixing in the remaining powdered sugar and water.
Enjoy!
For extra smooth consistency, (1) sift the powdered sugar before mixing in and (2) stir the finished buttercream with a wooden spoon for a few minutes. This will help get out any air bubbles in the icing and create a smooth finish on the outside of the cake!
