# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the softened butter into a stand mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl.
02 -
Set the mixer to medium-high and whip the butter for about 5 minutes. This will help make it super airy and soft.

Slowly add the icing sugar in three parts. Mix for about 1–2 minutes per round. Make sure to scrape down the bowl so everything blends perfectly.

Stir in the vanilla and milk. If you're piping the frosting, use less milk, but if you're spreading it, add a little more.

Scrape down the sides once more and give everything a last spin. It's now perfect to frost your cakes or cupcakes.

You can save the frosting at room temperature for 3 days or pop it in the fridge for up to a week.
