In a large mixing bowl, beat butter for 2 minutes. Add in vanilla and sour cream, beat an additional minute.
Add powdered sugar and salt. Beat just until combined on low, then turn mixer to high and beat an additional 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Frosting will be smooth.
Notes
If you want a thicker frosting to pipe on a cupcake, reduce sour cream to 1/2 cup.
