- 3 tbsp HEAVY CREAM

- 1/2 tsp FINE SALT
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Place your softened butter in the mixer. Use the whisk attachment for this part. Turn the mixer to a medium speed. Beat the butter for three full minutes. It should look very pale and creamy.
Step 2:
-
Add the yellow cake mix to the bowl. It is best to heat treat it. Put it in the microwave first. This makes the raw flour safe. Mix it into the butter very well.
Step 3:
-
Sift your powdered sugar into a bowl. Add it to the mixer slowly. Use a very low speed for this. This prevents a big mess of sugar. Mix until the sugar is all gone.

Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla. Add your small pinch of salt now. Turn the mixer back to high speed. Whip the mixture for two more minutes. Watch it become very light and fluffy.
Step 5:

Check the texture of your sweet frosting. It should be easy to spread around. Scrape the sides of the bowl again. Give it one final quick mix today. Your Funky Batter Buttercream Recipe is now ready.
