Cream Frosting

This is simple frosting that will frost the tops only (not the sides) of two 9” cakes. So simple it is, that a recipe is hardly needed but only to serve as a reminder to the cook of how good simplicity can be.

2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
small pinch of salt
1/3 cup sugar

Place all of the above in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until stiff peeks form.
