This frosting is a delightful addition to any cake or cupcake, offering a creamy and fluffy texture with a rich vanilla flavor.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter with the salt and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add half of the powdered sugar, beating until well incorporated.
Sift the powdered sugar beforehand to avoid lumps.
Pour in the heavy cream and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Use cold heavy cream for a better whipping consistency.
Add the remaining powdered sugar and continue beating until the frosting reaches your desired texture.
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar for a stiffer or softer frosting.
Use immediately to frost your favorite cakes or cupcakes, or store as needed.
If storing, cover tightly to prevent the frosting from drying out.
