This frosting is light, fluffy, and perfect for any cake or cupcake.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
Add the cream cheese to the butter and beat until well combined.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the frosting.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the powdered sugar beforehand to prevent clumps in the frosting.
Mix in the vanilla extract and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Beating on high speed incorporates air, making the frosting fluffy.
Use the frosting immediately or store it as needed.
If storing, cover tightly to prevent the frosting from drying out.
