![]() ![]() ![]() Spread the love and spread it with this fluffy delicious cream cheese frosting. I have way too much respect for you to think you don’t have any. I’ve kept frosted cakes out for hours and even overnight and we are all still alive and breathing. When you’re ready to frost, you may need to beat it to soften it up to spreading consistency again. Keep it in the fridge if it’s hot in your house as it will soften. This is used for frosting my banana bundt cake but rum is used instead of vanilla. Turn the mixer off, then carefully add the sugar. If you do need some inspiration, I suggest making my ultimate chocolate sheet cake and frost with cream cheese frosting instead of the icing. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until very, very fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Use your imagination and have some fun with it. You don’t need me to tell you what to spread it on. I hope I don’t get flagged by Google for the phrase 10 minute beating. Again, I feel the 10 minute beating is the reason.

Preheat oven to 350☏ (176☌) and prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides. You’ll see the beautiful texture change before your eyes. Add the sugar, milk, and vanilla, then beat it for 5 minutes more. Just put the butter and cream cheese into the bowl and beat it for 5 minutes on medium high. Unless you have patience and arms of steel, I highly recommend a stand mixer for this one. Beating it for that long not only changes the texture, it also changes the color into a beautiful cream. It takes 10 minutes to achieve it’s fluffy soft deliciousness and 10 minutes means 10 minutes. The trick to this particular frosting is in the preparation. Ok folks, we don’t need fifty pictures for this post right? I know you know what butter, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla look like right? Ok, then let’s move on. ![]() I can absolutely give you many examples of that but since this is a food blog, let’s stick to food. Ten minutes?
