2. Whip the cream
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or with a hand held electric whisk, place the cream in the bowl and whisk on medium speed until the cream begins to reach soft peaks.
Increase the speed to medium-high and slowly pour in the granulated sugar in a steady stream. Continue to beat until stiff peaks have formed.
3. Add the vanilla
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the vanilla extract into the cream until smooth and combined.
4. Start frosting
The whipped cream frosting is now ready to use. While best if used immediately, it can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. If it begins to soften, re-whip to form stiff peaks.
