This luscious Strawberry Buttercream Frosting made with Oil Soluble Strawberry Flavoring Extract delivers a burst of real strawberry flavor and creamy texture that’s perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. With its smooth consistency and vibrant pink hue, this frosting whips up easily in just a few minutes. The oil-soluble extract ensures a richer, more natural strawberry taste that blends seamlessly into the butter for a bakery-quality finish.
Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
-
2 tbsp heavy cream or whole milk (adjust for consistency)
-
1 tsp Oil Soluble Strawberry Flavoring Extract
-
1/8 tsp salt (balances sweetness)
-
Optional: a few drops of pink gel food coloring for a deeper shade
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until light and creamy.
Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent clumping.
Add heavy cream, Oil Soluble Strawberry Flavoring Extract, and salt, then beat on medium speed for another 2–3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Adjust the consistency by adding more cream for a softer texture or more sugar for stiffness.
For a vibrant color, mix in pink gel food coloring.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
