🧁 Method: Step-by-Step Guide to Whipped Vanilla Frosting

Step 1: Whip the Butter

Start by placing the softened butter in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes, until it becomes pale, fluffy, and almost doubled in volume.
