This whipped frosting comes together with just a few pantry staples, no flour or wheat-based thickeners anywhere in sight. Softened butter gets beaten until pale and fluffy, then sifted powdered sugar is added gradually for that signature smooth, cloud-like texture. A touch of vanilla and a pinch of salt round out the flavor, balancing the sweetness so it never turns cloying. The whole batch whips up light enough to hold a soft peak, making it easy to spread or pipe onto your favorite cakes and cupcakes. It's a dependable, no-fuss frosting to keep in your gluten free baking rotation whenever you need something classic and crowd-pleasing.

Beat the softened butter in a large bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until pale and noticeably fluffy.
Reduce the mixer to low and add the sifted powdered sugar in three additions, mixing after each until just incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between additions.
