This dreamy frosting whips up light, pale, and impossibly fluffy after a few minutes of beating, then gets folded through with sifted powdered sugar until smooth and cloud-like. A splash of pure vanilla and a pinch of fine salt round out the flavor, keeping the sweetness balanced rather than cloying. The finished texture holds a soft peak right off the beater, so it's easy to swirl, pipe, or spread thick across cupcakes and cake layers. Whether you're topping a birthday cake or a batch of cookies, this one whips up fast and holds its shape beautifully once chilled. It's a great one to keep in your Paleo baking rotation for whenever a frosting craving hits.

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.
