Quick Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy (about 2 minutes).
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
3. Add the heavy cream (or milk) and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream; if it's too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
4. Taste and add a pinch of salt if desired to balance the sweetness.
