Steps
Place the softened butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment.
Beat the butter and cream cheese together until homogenous and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar and whip to combine.
After about a minute of mixing, use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bowl again and beat for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy.
Use to frost your cakes as needed!
Notes
It is critical that the cream cheese and butter are at true room temperature (leave out for at least 3 hours) to prevent the frosting from splitting or becoming lumpy. Use the whisk attachment to incorporate air for maximum fluffiness. This frosting is forgiving; you can adjust the powdered sugar, vanilla, or salt to your personal taste.
