Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, stems removed and sliced
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Place 1 cup worth of the berries in the blender or food processor and puree until smooth, stop to scrape the sides as needed. This should only take a minute or two.
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy, add 1 cup of powdered sugar and beat again.
Add 1 more cup of powdered sugar and beat to combine.
Add 1/2 cup of strawberry puree and beat again until smooth.
Add the remaining powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth and fluffy.
Add more strawberry puree as desired, for a creamier or pourable icing (the softer icing will only work for a sheet cake, it will need to be as described above for a layered cake) or add additional powdered sugar, for a thicker and more pipe-able frosting for decorating.
Store the decorated cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
