Add butter to your stand mixer and beat with paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
Add cream cheese and mix until well incorporated.
Add confectioner's sugar ½ cup at a time- scraping the bowl down after each addition with a spatula.
Once you hit 2 cups of confectioner's sugar you might start tasting the frosting to see if you need more sugar. I usually like about 2½ cups to 3 cups of sugar.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and mix.
Done!
