Ingredients

cup
butter
softened
4
cups
powdered sugar
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4
cup
strawberry jam
Red food coloring
optional
1-2
tablespoons
heavy cream
if needed to make the icing more spreadable
Instructions
In a stand mixer bowl, with the mixer on medium speed, whip the butter for 2 minutes until it is almost white in color.
Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla flavoring, and strawberry jam. (If you'd like a pinker color, this is where you'd add in a drop of food coloring.
Beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes. If the frosting is too stiff for spreading, you can add in a tablespoon more of jam or a tablespoon of heavy cream.
Spread the buttercream on the cooled cupcakes with a knife, or use Wilton tip 1M to pipe on a swirl of frosting.
