Steps:
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together softened butter and shortening until fluffy and well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well blended. The frosting will be very stiff at this point.
- Slowly mix in the heavy cream on low speed. Once it is fully mixed in, increase the speed to high and beat for 5-7 minutes, scraping down bowl occasionally. The frosting should be very white and fluffy, like a bowl of whipped cream. Use to frost a moist chocolate cake, vanilla cake, or fluffy banana cake!

Steps:
- Beat soft butter and shortening in an electric mixer on high speed with the whisk attachment until creamy for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- At low speed, add powder sugar 1 cup at a time until smooth into the mixing bowl.
- On high speed, mix in vanilla, almond extract, and hot water for 5 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Place a dollop of frosting on a small piece of cardboard or on a tray, and set the cake on top. This keeps the cake from sliding around while decorating.
- Fill a large piping bag with frosting, set the bag in a tall sturdy glass measuring cup. Load it down inside the pastry bag with a spatula, when 3/4 full, push inside the bag toward the tip. Fold the top down and decorate your cake. Don't overfill or it will squeeze out of the top of the bag.
- Frost the cake using a small offset spatula, smooth out as best you can all over the top and sides of the cake. This frosting is so easy to spread, and you don't have to clean your spatula while decorating. Then create beautiful designs using a piping bag fitted with tips.

PHYLLIS' FLUFFY FROSTING
I got this from my Grandma who got it from my Aunt Phyllis. It is incredibly easy but does pretty much require a stand mixer or a person with stamina. It is a very light whipped satin icing (not very sweet) and we love it best on chocolate cake but it frosts anything well. Be patient and whip it for the full 20 minutes or it will not set. To make this a chocolate whipped icing use unsweetened cocoa powder. Add it at the end using 1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on desired richness. *Melted chocolate will make it fall and so will heavy cream or half & half (it just won't set).
