Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream warmed to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar sifted

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until it’s light and fluffy.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed just until combined and creamy.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
    Flour, butter, vanilla extract, and sour cream mixed in a glass bowl for baking.
  • Once the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat for 1–2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If the frosting seems too thick, blend in 1 tablespoon of sour cream (or milk) at a time until spreadable. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until you reach the right consistency.
  • Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.
