  1. In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down bottom and sides of bowl as necessary. When all of the sugar has been mixed in, icing may appear dry.
  3. Add buttermilk and vanilla, and beat on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
