Now beat together the plain flour mixture and vanilla essence until the mixture becomes smooth. Keep aside.
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until the color of the butter changes from yellow to off white (about 6-7 minutes). Sugar will not dissolve at this stage.
Add butter and sugar mixture to the plain flour mixture and beat until well combined.
Add extra milk one tablespoon at a time until the frosting is light, airy and fluffy and there is no sugar granules left in the frosting.
