Whipping cream, also known as heavy cream, is frequently used in baking, yet sometimes it is not in my refrigerator. So, I have to make emergency homemade substitute. Heavy cream contains 30 to 36% fat and this recipe works for baking and cooking, but this cannot be whipped.

Hi! When you say ‘butter, softened’ meaning we just leave it out till it soften or we hand-mix it?
Hi, it means butter cut in cubes at room-temperature (68-77F/20-25C) for about 20 minutes.
