The amounts stated will only cover the top of an 8 or 9-inch cake, if desired you may double…

The secret to this extra fluffy frosting is the long beating time, add in food coloring if desired

Ingredients:

1/2 cup light cream (such as half and half, can use full-fat milk)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup shortening

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional

pinch salt

1 cup confectioners sugar, sifted

Instructions:————————————

In a small saucepan stir together the cream and flour; bring to a simmer over medium heat until thickened and smooth, thenĀ  cool to room temperature (place in the fridge for faster cooling).

On the highest speed of an electric mixer beat the cooled flour mixture with butter, shortening, vanilla, almond extract and salt until smooth and fluffy.

Blend in the confectioners sugar and continue beat until frosting is very fluffy (this will take about 12-15 minutes).
