Ingredients

- Powdered sugar
- 3 cups, sifted (more if needed)
- Vanilla extract

- Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition. Start with 3 cups and adjust to your desired sweetness.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat on high speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and well incorporated, approximately 3-4 minutes.
