This vanilla glaze comes together in just 2 minutes and instantly makes any dessert look fancy. It’s sweet, smooth, and packed with cozy vanilla flavor—the kind that makes you want to lick the spoon (no judgment). Drizzle it over a vanilla bundt cake, dip some donuts, or pour it on anything that needs a quick little glow-up. You can make it as thick or as thin as you like!
Combine the 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 2-3 tbsp milk, and ½ tsp vanilla extract in a small bowl. Check the consistency of the icing. If it is too thick, add 1/2 tsp of cream at a time till you get to your desired consistency.
Please note that the calories are based off the entire recipe to drizzle over 1 cake. Read how to thicken frosting quickly to adjust the icing from thick to thin or vice versa.
No storing
I do not recommend you store, freeze, or make this recipe ahead. This icing hardens fast so it's best to make it right before you want to glaze the cake.You can definitely pour the glaze on the cake if you're making the cake in advance, the glaze will harden and then you can serve it the next day or whenever you plan on serving the cake.
