In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes. This step is key to a smooth and airy buttercream.
Add the Sugar:
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud.
Incorporate the Liquid:
Add the vanilla extract and a tablespoon of heavy cream or milk. Mix on medium speed until fully combined. Continue adding cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
Season and Whip:
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip the buttercream for an additional 2–3 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
Use or Store:
Use the buttercream immediately to frost your baked goods, or store it for later use (see storage tips below).
