This dreamy, cloud-like frosting whips up in minutes and delivers that classic bakery-style finish every cake or cupcake deserves. Softened butter gets beaten until pale and fluffy, then sifted powdered sugar folds in gradually for a silky, lump-free texture. A splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt round out the flavor, balancing the sweetness perfectly. Plant-based milk gets added a tablespoon at a time until you hit that perfect consistency — thicker for piping swirls and rosettes, looser for a smooth, spreadable finish. Every ingredient here fits naturally into a vegetarian kitchen, making this a frosting you can whip up without a second thought. Whether you're topping a layer cake or a batch of cupcakes, this one holds its shape beautifully and tastes just as rich as it looks.

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