Vanilla3 ½ tsp
Salt0.13–¼ tsp
Heavy cream5 -4 Tablespoons

Instructions

Beat the softened butter in a stand mixer (or large bowl with electric mixer) on low until creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Add 2 cups (250 g) of the powdered sugar, the cocoa powder, vanilla, ⅛ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Mix on low until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar on low speed. The mixture may look dry; this is fine.
Add the remaining cream or milk one tablespoon at a time. Start on low, then raise to medium-high and beat for several seconds after each tablespoon. Keep adding cream one tablespoon at a time until the frosting is smooth and pipeable.
Use right away on cupcakes or cake.
