This silky, tangy frosting comes together in minutes with just a hand mixer and a little patience. Sifted powdered sugar whips in smooth and light, while a splash of fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract add brightness and warmth that balance out the richness perfectly. A pinch of salt keeps the sweetness in check, and the whole batch beats up into soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape beautifully once spread. There's no flour or wheat-based thickener anywhere in this recipe, so it's an easy, reliable pick for a gluten free dessert table. Make it ahead and let it sit at room temperature before your final beat for that perfect spreadable texture every time.
