Buttercream Frosting

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
4.5 cups powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

• Beat the softened butter over medium speed with an electric mixer until soft and creamy.
• Continue to beat over medium speed as you gradually add the powdered sugar.
• Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to fully incorporate all of the sugar.
• Once butter and sugar have come together, add the vanilla. Beat in the heavy cream or milk 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
