- Vanilla Maple Frosting InstructionsIn medium/large bowl add 1 cup and 1 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar, 3 tbsp softened butter, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tsp milk (dairy or dairy-free).Using a hand mixer on medium-high, combine the ingredients for a few minutes until the frosting is very smooth.(You shouldn’t have to add more milk, but if you have to - just add a tiny bit more. You don’t want the frosting to be too thin - or it will melt into the cake)
