Cook's Notes

The 8-cup yield will cover an 8-inch 3-layer cake; use half a batch for a 6-inch 3-layer cake. Buttercream can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 10 days. Bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth, about 10 minutes, before using.

    Delicious!!! But here is my "dirty little secret" . . . I use salted butter! A bit of salt makes sweet things even sweeter and better tasting. So I do not hesitate to use salted butter in these types of recipes. But either way, try this simple and super tasty frosting. You will not be disappointed!
