Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whip the softened butter for about 5 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the butter is extremely light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, half a cup at a time, making sure to thoroughly combine each addition before adding more.
After all the sugar is incorporated, add in the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of milk or cream.
Continue to beat the frosting for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. If needed, add more milk or cream, only a few drops at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
The frosting is now ready to spread or pipe onto cooled cakes or cupcakes. For the best results, use the frosting immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let chilled frosting come back to room temperature and whip again for a few minutes before use.
