The fluffy cream cheese frosting takes any recipe to a whole new level.
Everyone needs to have a good cream cheese frosting recipe in their back pocket, and ours is definitely a keeper. You can’t have our Pineapple Carrot Cake Amish Friendship Bread without this cream cheese frosting. Or our Red Velvet Amish Friendship Bread. Did we mention our Irish Cream Amish Friendship Bread cupcakes as well?
An all-time favorite pairing is with our Pumpkin Spice Amish Friendship Bread. Spread it on and prepare for rave reviews (and multiple helpings)!
Cream Cheese Frosting
The fluffy cream cheese frosting takes any recipe to a whole new level.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- a pinch of salt
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- With an electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter and cream cheese until soft and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until combined
- Slowly add sugar until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- To frost a two-layer cake, double the recipe for a thin layer, or triple the recipe if you want it well frosted.
- If baking a variation with lemon or citrus, add 1 tablespoon or freshly grated lemon or orange zest into the frosting for a fresh flavor boost.
- Omit vanilla extract if you prefer your cream cheese frosting to be snow white.
