Ingredients:

2. Add the Powdered Sugar:
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. Incorporate the Cream and Vanilla:
   • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
   • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.

5. Frost Your Cakes and Cupcakes:
   • Use the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If refrigerated, bring it to room temperature and re-whip before using.
