Ingredients
Directions

- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) for 1 minute. Add granulated sugar and beat for another minute.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

- Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
- Add vanilla extract and beat for 2 minutes, then add heavy cream or milk to reach desired consistency.
