In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat butter until creamy and pale.  \n2. Gradually add confectioners\u2019 sugar and cocoa powder (much of the sugar first, then the rest) on low speed to avoid a mess. Scrape bowl as needed.  \n3. Pour in the heavy cream or milk a tablespoon at a time, plus vanilla extract and salt. Then increase mixer speed and beat until the frosting is light, smooth, and fluffy. If it seems too stiff, add a little more milk. If too loose, add a bit more powdered sugar. ([kingarthurbaking.com](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/super-simple-chocolate-frosting-recipe?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Assembly & Tips\n\n- Make sure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting, to prevent melting.  \n- For neat frosting, place one layer on a cake stand or plate, secure it with a tiny dab of frosting, spread a layer of frosting, then carefully place the second layer on top. Then frost top and sides. Use an offset spatula or bench scraper for smooth edges.  \n- If you want a three-layer cake, divide into three pans (if you have them) or slice cooled cakes horizontally.  \n- This cake and frosting can be made a day ahead. Store cake layers wrapped, and frosting in airtight container; re-whip frosting when ready to use. ([bostongirlbakes.com](https://www.bostongirlbakes.com/vanilla-cake-with-chocolate-frosting/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nWould you like a scaled-down version (for cupcakes), a different frosting style (ganache, whipped cream, etc.), or adaptations (gluten-free, dairy-free)?"
