- In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.

If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Frosts 13x9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.

Steps:
- With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add 4 and 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, the heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 full minutes. Taste. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. I always add 1/8 teaspoon.
- You can control the consistency at this point- add up to 1/2 cup more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or more heavy cream if frosting is too thick (add only 1 Tablespoon at a time, beat together, then taste and add more if desired).
- Use immediately or cover tightly and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. After freezing, thaw in the refrigerator then beat the frosting on medium speed for a few seconds so it's creamy again. After thawing or refrigerating, beating in a splash of heavy cream or milk will help thin the frosting out again, if needed.

SILKY VANILLA BUTTER FROSTING
This is not your usual butter-cream made with powdered sugar. Butter is beaten into a flour-thickened base to make an exquisitely light and creamy frosting. Not overly sweet like those made with powdered sugar, but sweet enough to be the perfect compliment for a cake. Make sure the base is completely cooled before beating in the butter. I added in 15 minutes cooling time, but it will vary depending on conditions.

SILKY CHOCOLATE BUTTER FROSTING
Once I tried this type of frosting, I have never gone back to the butter-cream type made with powdered sugar. This is just as creamy and fluffy, but not as gaggy sweet. Sweet enough without overpowering the cake. Prep times includs 15 minutes for cooling (may take longer depending on air temp).

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter: Since the frosting is not baked, using unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the frosting.
- Bring the butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will make them easier to cream together and will result in a smoother frosting.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar: Adding the powdered sugar all at once can cause the frosting to become lumpy.
- Beat the frosting until it reaches the desired consistency: If you want a stiffer frosting, beat it for a longer period of time. If you want a looser frosting, beat it for a shorter period of time.
- Add flavorings after the frosting has been beaten: This will help to prevent the flavorings from curdling the frosting.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: If you are storing the frosting in the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature before using it.
Conclusion:
Silky vanilla butter frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make a perfect silky vanilla butter frosting every time.
