Fluffy Frosting

Put 2 sticks of softened butter in mixer and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down mixing bowl. Mix another 2 minutes at medium high speed until the butter is lighter. Scrape down bowl.

Add 4 cups of powdered sugar and mix on low for 15 seconds.

Add 3 Tablespoons of milk and 1 Tablespoon of vanilla. Mix on medium high for 2 minutes. Scrape down bowl. Mix on medium high for another 2 minutes until fluffy looking.

I have added some cocoa to this also (just put in to taste - did not measure) and it makes a fluffy chocolate frosting - not overpowering.

This is a recipe I got out of the book of cakes by the Death By Chocolate guy Marcel DeSantiers(?).
