  1. Beat butter and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. I let mine beat for quite awhile.
  3. Beat the vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add sugar, one cup at a time, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated.
  4. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated and frosting is nice and smooth.
