This is a buttercream frosting I normally put on birthday cakes. It's like the frosting that bakeries put on cakes, extra rich and creamy from the egg yolk, but I much prefer to make my own since I know what I am putting into it, and as always, homemade is best. Makes 2 1/2 cups or enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch layers.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter , softened
- 0.13 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 eggs yolks , beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions

Cream butter until soft. Add salt and part of the sugar gradually, blending after each addition. Then add egg yolks and vanilla; blend well. Add remaining sugar, alternately with milk, until preferred consistency for spreading is reached, beating after each addition until smooth.
